Kuala Lumpur Travel Guide - Travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Travel to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - Why visit Kuala Lumpur? Kuala Lumpur is the center and symbol of Malaysia’s rapid rise as an economic powerhouse. The rocketlike Petronas Towers soar above a city built to impress, from the modern buildings of the Golden Triangle to massive shopping malls to driverless trains that glide across the bustling city. Yet nestled amid the high-rises travelers will find remnants of the city’s past: enchanting temples and mosques, small whitewashed colonial churches and British Tudor-style clubhouses. At night, markets and lantern-lit streets ring with the sound of Malay, Chinese and Indian hawkers selling tantalizing dishes. Though it’s running hard toward the future, Kuala Lumpur still offers a glimpse of its colorful heritage and a taste of traditional, exotic Asia.

Lodging in Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur’s budget lodging is mostly found in the city center. Increasingly, more are opening in the Bukit Bintang and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman / Chow Kit and Jalan Ipoh / Jalan Pudu areas which are near the Golden Triangle, where prices are slightly higher than in Chinatown but you’ll be next to Kuala Lumpur’s entertainment, shopping and dining center.
