Kuala Lumpur is the most populous city in Malaysia.  It is the home to the Parliament of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur has been rated as alpha world city as it is one of the important nodes in the global economic system. Kuala Lumpur, ranked as the sixth most visited city in the world, attracted 8.94 million tourists in 2008. The Kuala Lumpur Tower is the fifth tallest telecommunication tower in the world.

The Petronas Twin Towers is an iconic landmark that merits a visit (and photo opportunity) for any first-time visitor to Kuala Lumpur. Built in 1998, the sleek structure stands at 88 storeys high and joined by a double-decker Sky Bridge that offers an exhilarating view of KL city centre and beyond. Set at the foot of Petronas Twin Towers is Suria KLCC Shopping Mall, which hosts an array of international brands, cinema, two food courts, an art gallery, restaurants, concert hall, and the massive Aquaria KLCC. Just a short walk away is KLCC Park, an expansive manmade park with a jogging track, walking paths, water fountains, and a wading pool for children.

The colourful Chinatown is a well-known bargain hunter’s paradise that seemingly never sleeps. Deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history, it is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia, and holds its own against its more glamorous neighbours, KLCC & Bukit Bintang. Representing Malaysia’s multihued multicultural background perfectly, you can find all sorts of stuff, from Chinese herbs to imitation goods in this area.
