An urban jungle near ancient rainforests
Malaysia’s capital city is electric. It’s a bouquet of ultramodern skyscrapers sparkling next to ancient rainforests. It’s a hub of billboard-plastered malls and lantern-lined marketplaces. It’s a multicultural metropolis where street food hawkers whip up fusion feasts and mosques and temples sit alongside high rises. Stop to absorb every vibrant detail – there are always new things to see in Kuala Lumpur.
Rise early with the fervent sun and climb a rainbow staircase to see temples in limestone caves. Spend an afternoon admiring ornate mosques and exploring the city’s dynamic streets. See the swaying flower garlands in Brickfields (Little India), the dangling lanterns in Petaling Street (Chinatown) and the sky-high bars in the Golden Triangle entertainment district. Soar up a skyscraper in a lift and sit in a swanky bar with views of the sun sinking behind towers and domes. Then descend to street level to stuff your face at a night market and find out why so many locals (or KLites) are self-declared foodies.Book your flights to Kuala Lumpur now.
