Kuala Lumpur


With the Petronas Towers as it’s focal point, radiating outward is a multitude of cultures, sites and activities making Kuala Lumpur a popular tourist destination. The towers themselves are a modern marvel, standing at 452 meters these twins reign supreme over the KL skyline. The surrounding golden circle reveals the wealth of the city with lavish shopping malls offering only the most posh places for the rich to squander their fortunes.

The city however has many layers and this elite aspect is only the surface. Walking around the city you will find rich diversity and poorer and more dynamic neighborhoods such as the vibrant Chinatown that offers shopping for the more curious and money savvy individuals. Mosques that radiate calls to prayer over the noisy city blended with Buddhist temples wafting out blankets of incense smoke, and vibrant Hindu temples adorned by their colorful gods; Kuala Lumpur is a chaotic and restless city.
