Kuala Lumpur Attractions
Petronas
Twin Towers
At a dizzying height of 452 metres, Petronas Twin
Towers, a pair of 88-storey buildings, are the world's tallest free-standing
towers. Apart from offices, these awesome towers also house a state-of-the-art
concert hall--the Petronas Philharmonic Hall, home of the Malaysian Philharmonic
Orchestra and the Petronas Performing Arts Group.
The designs on the towers are based on geometric patterns common in Islamic architecture. Special features of the towers include the double-deck sky-bridge and high speed double-deck lifts. The first few floors house shopping arcades restaurants, a science museum and the concert hall and are the only floors open to public.
Petaling
Street
Also known as Chinatown, Petaling Street is one of Kuala Lumpur's most popular
tourist destinations. In the evenings, a line of stalls come to live in
front of the pre-war shops, offering products of every description, from
fake leather goods to the obligatory "Dunhill" watches.
The area attracts many locals and visitors in search of bargain items, including inexpensive dresses, shoes, fabrics and souvenirs. It transforms itself into a bustling and lively night market when part of the road is closed to traffic at about 6pm.
Central
Market
Central Market is a cultural centre-cum-shopping mall and is the best place
to witness Malaysian culture, art and craft. A variety of goods are sold
here, including handicrafts, souvenirs and art, all at reasonable prices.
Amid the stalls selling an array of souvenirs are small outlets where Malaysian artists display their works. Visitors may even have their portrait painted or order custom-made handicrafts.
Just outside Central Market is a riverside amphitheatre, venue for traditional dance displays, wayang kulit (shadow puppet) shows and more contemporary entertainment.
Sultan
Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque
One of the largest mosques in South-east Asia, this impressive building
is frequently referred to as "the blue mosque." It is huge and
magnificent--with an enormous, dark blue dome and four minarets standing
at 142.3 metres. Decorative Islamic calligraphy enhances the dome and main
prayer-hall, while the overall architecture integrates ethnic Malay design
elements. The mosque is adjoined by a small lake, which makes it a particularly
serene setting, especially at sunset.
Visitors should dress according to the Islamic dress code. Suitable attire is provided at the main entrance.
National
Monument
Close to Parliament House stands the National Monument--a great bronze sculpture
erected to commemorate the soldiers who gave up their lives in the triumph
over the Communists.
Constructed in 1966, it is reputed to be one of the world's largest free-standing bronze sculptures. The 15.54 metre high sculpture, which was designed by the American sculptor Felix de Weldon, portrays seven men from the Malaysian Armed Forces holding the national flag, each symbolising one of seven qualities: leadership, unity, strength, vigilance, suffering, courage and sacrifice.
Kuala
Lumpur Railway Station
Built in 1910, this stunning Moorish-style terminal is a delight for photography
buffs. It was designed by architect A B Hubbock, who also designed the Jamek
Mosque. After a recent extensive refurbishment, the station now provides
air-conditioned comfort and modern facilities for rail passengers. From
this station, passengers can board trains to any destination within Peninsular
Malaysia as well as Thailand and Singapore.
Across the street is the Malayan Railway Administration Building, another Moorish extravagance from the British colonial period. It is linked to the station by an underground thoroughfare.
Merdeka
Square
The Dataran Merdeka was once a focal point--and cricket pitch--for the British
colonial presence in Malaysia. The structures bordering the Dataran Merdeka
resemble the physical environment of the colonists' native land.
Situated on one corner of the square is the Selangor Club, replicating the Tudors of merry old England. It was at this square in 1957 that the Union Jack was lowered and the Malayan flag hoisted, signalling Malaysia's independence as a nation. A 100-metre flagpole, one of the tallest in the world, marks the spot.
National
Museum
The National Museum is a palatial structure adopting the style of old Malay
architecture. Its imposing entrance is flanked by murals depicting aspects
of Malaysian culture and history. Inside there are exhibits on local history,
culture and traditions, arts and crafts, economic activities, currency,
weapons and local flora and fauna.
Outside, old locomotives, vintage cars and other relics of transport from days gone by can be found. Reconstructed Malay palaces from other parts of the country also grace the expansive grounds.
Lake
Garden (Taman Tasik Perdana)
The brainchild of Alfred Venning, the British State Treasurer in the 1880s,
this botanical garden, set amid lakes in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, is the
city dweller's favourite rendezvous. Nestled deep in the city centre are
a sprawling 104 hectares of close-cropped lawns, undulating hills and carefully
cultivated gardens.
Situated near Jalan Parlimen, Lake Gardens offers locals and visitors a wide range of facilities such as playgrounds, jogging tracks, exercise stations and rowing boats while other attractions within the park include a bird park, a butterfly park, a deer park and flower gardens.
Sri
Mahamariaman Temple
The temple is an arresting sight, all the more for its incongruent setting
in Chinatown. Built in 1873, it is the most elaborate Hindu temple in the
country. Its gate tower is embellished with ornate sculptures of Hindu deities
and its floors and walls marbled with Italian and Spanish tiles. This is
the country's oldest temple and it occupies an important place in Hindu
religious life.
Inside, many Hindu worshipers offers prayers to the four-armed goddess. Visitors must remove their footwear before entering the temple. Outside, vendors sell fragrant jasmine flowers strung into garlands and Indian sweets.
Batu
Caves
This is one of the holiest Hindu shrines in Malaysia and a popular tourist
attraction. The Caves are popular not only for being the southern-most limestone
outcrop in the Northern Hemisphere, but the labyrinth that makes up the
Batu Caves also supports a variety of exotic wildlife. There is a 272-step
concrete staircase leading to the temple cave. The main cave holds a shrine
of Lord Subramaniam, a Hindu deity.
A cave gallery
is located at the foot of the caves featuring clay figurines and wall paintings
depicting scenes and figures from Hindu mythology.
