About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysias pulsierende Hauptstadt: Die Petronas Towers überragen malaiische, chinesische und indische Viertel und berühmtes Streetfood.

Die Zwillingstürme der Petronas Towers, durch eine Skybridge verbunden, prägen die Skyline, zu ihren Füßen ein gestalteter Park mit Fontänen. Der KL Tower bietet von seinem bewaldeten Hügel eine andere Aussicht, und der Merdeka-Platz, auf dem bei der Unabhängigkeit die Nationalflagge gehisst wurde, wird vom maurisch anmutenden Sultan-Abdul-Samad-Gebäude gerahmt.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
