The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Kuala Lumpur
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
The city was founded at the confluence of the Gombak and Klang rivers by tin miners from China. For this reason they chose this name, which translates as “dirty estuary”. In the last century, Kuala Lumpur was under the control of the British and Japanese (during World War II). The years of occupation were not without a trace for the region, but today, among the pluses left from that time are, for example, the architectural heritage of that era. Much has changed since then, and now the capital of Malaysia is one of the most dynamic cities in Asia.
The districts of the city do not have clear boundaries. In addition, ethnic neighbourhoods are common here. One of the most sprawling is Chinatown. Many attractions are concentrated in close proximity to the Petronas Twin Towers. These two skyscrapers for a couple of decades of existence have become the calling card of Kuala Lumpur.
Located to the north of the city. The limestone caves are named after the river that runs nearby. They are one of the few Hindu shrines not located in India. Undeveloped caves have been preserved, but it is the temple part that attracts the attention of tourists and pilgrims. Here you can see numerous statues, multicoloured illumination and several structures. The Thaipusam festival is held regularly.
