Kuala Lumpur Pocket Guide

Images Of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur has all the trademarks of a South-East Asian capital. The shopping is cheap, the weather is hot, the traffic is chaotic and the food and drink is plentiful. Commonly abbreviated to KL, it is also the cultural, political and commercial centre of Malaysia. During a visit one can witness the hectic lives the locals lead in its distinctive neighbourhoods, see the buildings where the country is run, and marvel at some of the most famous skyscrapers on the planet.

    Accessible Asia

    I've been to KL several different times during my gap year travels and have always found new things to love about the place. When I am weary of backpacking, being in KL is akin to taking a break and being at a city back home in the states. There are western style amenities for cheap prices, most people speak English, and the food is delicious. However, the city is also a reflection of the many cultural aspects of Malaysia, from the Hindu batu caves to china town at petaling street.

    Insider Tip:As is true with traveling to any foreign place, it's supremely better to be shown around by a local. If possible, I'd recommend using a site like couchsurfing to find people willing to show you the things about their city you might miss if you went alone.

    KL is KL

    It is was it is one of the busiest cities in SEasia but it has everything happening so it is a must see Chinatown is where it is all at unless you want. Clubs then it's into KLCC very easy to get around RM4 to get a train intothecity which are all AC and clean

    Insider Tip:Seee the twin towers at day and at night, walk around people will always help with your directions if. Lost and worst case a teksi (taxi) will cost nothing to get you back to where you need to be, there is alot happening everywhere so to see it all you have to hit the pavement

    Hot and busy

    There is so much going on in KL that you think you are missing out on things! But you're not everything is alive late into the night and a lot of the time it's better to e plots at night when it's not so hot and busy!!

    Insider Tip:You can cover most of the city including Chinatown, KLCC, Little India etc etc on foot in a day provided you have a good sense of direction

    Kuala Lumpur

    Kl: escape from the city as fast as u can. Visit the Petronas Twin Towers, China Town and party one night...after that flee. The city is terribly humid and hot with no possibility for a cooling urself. Malasya has lots of wonderful places to be seen.

    Insider Tip:There are two lines that run every day all day long (except for night) called GOKL connecting all the important tourist spots within kl: the best part is that they're free!!...The Batu Caves are nothing special.
