SOUTHEAST ASIA: Kuala Lumpur
| Overview | |
| Kuala Lumpur is the pride of Malaysia. It is the main
port of entry in and out of Malaysia, and it is no wonder that Kuala Lumpur
was chosen to be the capital of the country. It is known as a modern
capital, because this engaging dreamland was just picked a few decades ago
as the country's capital. Combining impressive high-rises with natural
beauty, excellent shopping with fascinating museums, Kuala Lumpur is a
fantastically diverse and gorgeous place to tour.
The dining is marvelous, and cuisine from all over the world is represented in fine form. From scrumptious Italian to delectable Chinese food, you can tour a different country with every meal. In 1857, Kuala Lumpur was founded as a tiny mining town. In the middle of the city, the sparkling Masjid Jame River flows uninterrupted. The Klang and Gombak rivers meet and seem to encompass the entire city. The abundance of water in and around Kuala Lumpur adds to its allure and beauty. The parks are scenic and tranquil, highlighted by Lake Gardens, the butterfly park, and the bird park. Ornithologists will be in utter disbelief as they marvel at the exquisite diversity of the bird life in Kuala Lumpur. Nature enthusiasts and environmentalists take note: the more fervent your passion for the outdoors, the more likely it is you will stay in Kuala Lumpur and not return home. That being said, it is safe for you to assume that Kuala Lumpur is a phenomenally scenic place that offers something for everyone. |
