Kuala Lumpur is the heart of Malaysia’s political, commercial and social life. Discovering Kuala Lumpur is like travelling through a time-tunnel. Here, vivid traces of history continue to influence and inspire a country set on becoming a fully industrialised nation by the year 2020. You will see ultra-modern skyscrapers standing magnificently next to rows and rows of quaint old shop-houses and haute cuisines beside hawker stalls.
Kuala Lumpur advanced by leaps and bounds since the Asian Economic Boom of the early 1990s (when economic growth was averaging at 10%).
Its many contrasts and sunny weather (especially if you're looking to escape the cold) are part of what makes Kuala Lumpur such an excellent city to visit. Kuala Lumpur is an extremely intriguing city where one can spend several days and nights viewing the sights, sampling the cuisine, shopping for unique gifts, exploring the tropical environs, and - perhaps most importantly - getting to know the Malaysian people, who are particularly friendly and hospitable.
A juxtaposition of gracious colonial edifices, pre-war shop houses and gleaming copper domed roofs are set against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers. Narrow streets of quaint old boutiques open out into tree-lined avenues. The favourable climate accounts for the lush greenery and profusion of tropical blooms in a riot of colours. Its multi-racial societies foster a unique blend of age-old customs and traditions, colourful festivals, songs and dances and a rich variety of foods to tempt the palate. Despite its urban environment, Kuala Lumpur retains the ambience of a garden city with its attractive landscaping, lush greenery and extensive public parks.
