Kuala Lumpur : The misterious city


Kuala Lumpur is an urban agglomeration of 7.2 million, is capital of Malaysia, the second most popular tourist country in the asian continent. This city is not too exotic, it is rich enough.


Over there, you can see the Petronas Towers in wealthy neighborhoods. They are 452 meters above the ground. And they were the biggest on the continent during 6 years. But honestly, for me they are the most beautiful in the world.

In summary Kuala Lumpur has neighborhoods, rich, medium rich, poor, very poor, roads and buildings everywhere, trains (rails up), huge roads, many people, cars ... But a city so original in term of buildings architecture, culture, environment ...

Anecdote: During our trip with Matthieu, we visited a few markets. On one side the big shopping malls and other street markets. We saw the street China Town (books of Travel advises against to buy, but it appear that it is a major commercial heart for the city). In this street, there were only rapid Chinese who sold counterfeit products. This land is really a scam.

  3. I concur. Petronas Twin Towers are really stylish. This is real art compared to Marina Bay Sands! And they were used to film a scene in the movie Entrapment with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Sean Connery.
