The largest city in Malaysia, as well as the capital is Kuala Lumpur. Along Malaysian’s western’s coast, at the point where the Klang and the Gombrek rivers converge, lies a city steeped in history, through the toil of those immigrating for the mining of tin . Where there are now 5 star hotels Kuala Lumpur was once an untraveled and undiscovered jungle. Commerce and trade has taken over what mining had previously provided. As well as banking, and now this city of major proportion and modern ideas has become the center of cultural, economic and financial industries for the entire nations.

The city itself offers to visitors many visual splendors, be it the architecture of the mosques and skyscrapers to the monuments and parks that line the rivers. The world’s tallest buildings, the twin towers of Petronas are in the center of the downtown district. Connected by a bridge 43 stories up, the splendor of this creation is much to behold. Close by, the Philharmonic plays, and the people rush about, or stroll about in the various open air markets and shopping malls. And for a birds eye of it all, it is recommended that one climb to the top of the KL Tower. For not only is it the tallest building constructed from concrete, it also offers the best view of the city. Heritage, culture and the arts remain on the minds of everyone living in Kuala Lumpur which brings to the visiting public the opportunity to experience a bit of the Malaysian history though the museums, heritage sites and art galleries. There are parks, and aquariums for the lovers of nature, everything from butterflies to coral reefs are part of what has made this city and what continues to create and shape its future.
