Flavorsome Malaysia Travel and Kuala Lumpur Holiday Rentals

Malaysia is a country that is buoyant and wealthy and has progressed towards a vibrant and interesting blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous cultures and customs.

Malaysia is proud of their beaches, mountains and national parks that is incomparable to any other countries in Asia.

One of the high rise ambitious places in colorful cultural diversity in Malaysia is the Kuala Lumpur. This is an Asian tiger that has continually roared for over 150 years. It has progressed from nothing to a modern, lively city as you see it today.

A most popular attraction in Kuala Lumpur is the Petronas Towers, the second tallest building in the world. At 452 meters high, Petronas Twin Towers are the most prominent landmarks of Kuala Lumpur. Built in 1998, the design and architecture of the Twin Towers was inspired by Islamic art with a modern outlook on its steel and glass façade. The sky bridge connects the two towers mid-way and this is the perfect place for visitors to get a bird’s eye view of the surrounding city. And at the bottom of the Towers is the famous uptown shopping mall where you’ll find mostly suits for tourists and society’s upper class because the mall houses a wide Array of expensive fashion shops and other elite stores. This shopping mall is commonly known as the Suria KLCC.

Inside the base of the Twin Towers, you’ll find the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. There is a beautifully landscape park outside the Towers where you can conduct recreational activities or simply walk around the marble walkway and appreciate the fountains and flowers.

Outside the Petronas Towers, there is also a walk in water pool that’s free of charge and children can swim there.

One of the architectural sight you’ll want to admire in the city of Kuala Lumpur is the KL Tower, the fifth tallest structure in the world. It stands 421 meters high and was completed in 1995. This is a telecommunications tower with revolving restaurants at the top where you can enjoy good food and at the same time, take in the scenery of the city below. You can access the building by climbing Bukit Nanas and head by lift to the observatory deck on top, where there are built in telescopes that visitors can zoom in on parts of the surrounding city. Indeed, Kuala Lumpur’s rapid development has produced a skyline and unique architecture that blends Eastern and Western elements with the traditional arts of Malaysia.

Get ready to enjoy explore the amazing structures that mark Kuala Lumpur’s landscapes. Visiting Kuala Lumpur gives tourists invaluable opportunities to see Malaysia as a whole before setting off to any other parts of the country. The city brings together Malaysia’s past and present in many components of cultures and even its notable natural treasures that can be explored and experienced.

Must see attractions in Malaysia – Part 1

The many wonderful attractions of Malaysia are wide spread and you have no chance of seeing most of them in one visit. Wherever you are, there will be places well worth visiting and many opportunities for really memorable experiences. Cover as many as you can.

The obvious starting point is Kuala Lumpur, the capital and my favourite city. Its most famous attraction is the Petronas Twin Towers which were, until recently, the joint second highest buildings in the world. The number of visitors is strictly limited and you need to go early in the morning to queue and wait to see if you are lucky enough to get a ticket which will allow you to go up to the bridge that links the two towers about half way up. There is a lot to see at the base of the building which houses a large shopping centre, Suria KLCC, with expensive fashion shops and several elite stores. The surrounding area is beautifully laid out with fountains, ponds, gardens and many restaurants. If it seems a little expensive, don’t worry, just have a good look and go later to one of the other sixty plus shopping malls which offer bargains galore. The choice of hotels is extensive and you can find luxury accommodation at prices well below normal city levels. My favourite is the new Hilton which is close to the main railway station. If your next stop is Singapore you can travel by train in first class for a very low fare.

To see some of the other many interesting places it is better to negotiate a price for a fixed time with a taxi driver and tell him what you want to see. Organised tours involving other tourists are likely to include factory outlets or other shopping opportunities that give the tour operator commission. Absolute musts are the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, Dataran Merdeka (Independence Square) with it’s 95 meter flagpole and Kuala Lumpar Railway Station which is no longer used but retained as a tourist attraction. Going around the city there are many other eye catching buildings. Don’t forget Chinatown and Little India. Make sure you go about eight miles north of the city to the Batu Caves. This is a site of worship for Hindus and comprises several caves, some huge, within a limestone hill. Beautiful altars and magnificent statues.

Kuala Lumpur has a whole host of activities for the family. Children can enjoy watching animals graze in the zoo, visit the aquarium or butterfly park, get interactive with exhibits in the Science Centre or have a water-splashing fun time in theme parks across
