11 wonderful things to do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

#11 wonderful things to do in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur is the largest and most influential city in Malaysia. The people of Malaysia, the Chinese, the Indians and other people of the world are a melting pot of harmonious cultures that maintain their own customs, traditions, and food. The combination of ethnic architecture, old, modern skyscrapers and, most importantly, appetite food, makes Kuala Lumpur a beautiful city to visit. Now, let's start with these 11 things to do in Kuala Lumpur.

Nothing dominates the horizon, and Kuala shouts over the twin towers of the monsters, which occupy the first place. So, I'm at the base of the Petronas Towers. These are by far the most famous monuments of the city. On the ground flooring there‘s a big shopping center, and then, you can go to, I think it is the first floor or something, there is a heavenly bridge from where you can get a great view of the city. There is a beautiful park next to the Petronas Towers that has some of the best drinking fountains I have ever seen.

The second figure is the historic district in the center of the old Kuala Lumpur. Make the area a great place for walking tours. Despite all the modern skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, there is still a historic area. I am close to the old train station and visit some of the most celebrated and valuable buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Now I am here at the entrance of the National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur. The Plaza Merdeka is the Monument to Independence, home to a flag pillar 97 meters long and one of the longest in the world.

Number three is the lighthouse tower. The height of the two hundred meter high communications tower is tall. Dine in the Sky restaurant or merely enjoy incredible panoramic views from the top. One of the best KL towers of the Menara, at an absurd height here, very scared of my mind to sit on this ledge, but fortunately, I tied it not to fall.

Number four is Little India, known better as Brickfields. KL has a lot of Indian areas of town, but the city of Brickfields is known as the most significant little Indian in Kuala Lumpur. Brickfields is home to Hindu temples, small food markets, stores selling saris and other Indian clothing, and a fascinating collection of mostly south Indian restaurants. I personally go there for the food.

Number five, located on Petaling street and popular with both locals and tourists, is Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. I am in Chinatown on Petaling street, and you can see lots of different stall of clothes, mostly clothes, shoes, watches, DVD's, handbags, all kinds of stuff like that, there are also lots of restaurants both on this street and on the streets surrounding the area of Chinatown.

Number six is the Thean Hou Chinese temple. Built by the Hainanese community in KL, the Daoist temple is dedicated to the Tian Hou goddess or the heavenly mother. I am at the Thean Hou Chinese Temple, it was built on the side of the hill, so you have the Chinese temple but they you also have a view of Kuala Lumpur on the other side.

Center Market, also known as Pasar Seni is number seven. At one point, it was the original central market of the city. Today I think it's a little bit touristy inside, but it is a right place if you're looking to purchase souvenirs, Malaysian souvenirs, or a proper place to browse around for a little while. So, the central market.

Number eight is the KL Lake Gardens and the KL Bird Park which includes the world's largest in-flight aviary - for bird lovers, it shouldn't be missed. The KL Lake gardens right now, walking around, lovely scenery and also if you are interested, there is the KL Bird Park, KL mouse deer park, the butterfly park, and a hibiscus garden, orchid garden, you name it, it's all right in this area of KL Lake Gardens.

Number nine is the Batu Caves. So I made it to the Batu Caves. It's located just thirteen kilometers from the center of KL and is one of the most sacred Hindu religious sites outside of India. The two hundred and seventy-two steps to the top is an easy climb that's rewarded with a gorgeous cave filled with Hindu holy shrines. At the bottom of the cave, you'll find a series of vegetarian restaurants where you can replenish your calories after the climb.

Number ten is the central Chow Kit Wet Market. Chow kit market, and it's one of the largest fresh wet markets in the city. And they have some of my absolute favorite ingredients in the entire world, right down here in these aisles. Stink bean. All the fresh ingredients you could ever need to prepare a Malay feast are available at Chow Kit. There's also always a delicious array of fresh tropical fruit as well.

Did you really think I’d end this list of things to do in Kuala Lumpur without adding food as an attraction? For myself and most local Malaysians as well, it's all about the food - and when you visit Kuala Lumpur, your mouth is going to rejoice with the diverse selection of Malay, Chinese, and Indian food available. Malaysia is one of the best countries in the world for food, and Kuala Lumpur offers something tasty at every corner. From Nasi Lemak to Ikan Bakar, char kuay teow to bak kut teh, and banana leaf to tandoori chicken, Kuala Lumpur is a food paradise.
