KL is a clean, sleek and modern city in the tropics. The identity of the city seems to revolve around the spectacular Petronas Towers, until recently the tallest building in the world.
The towers are surrounded by a big park including a place for the kids to cool down under the hot Malaysian sun. It's a great spot to chill out under a tree and relax in the centre of the city.
The second big tower is called KL Tower which due to it's location on the top of a hill actually stands higher than the Petronas Towers. The shot below shows them both.
Here is KL Tower itself, soaring into the sky. It provides a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding countryside.
The following photos show the view from KL Tower through the haze. Two things you notice about KL are that there are hills (Bangkok is flat) and there is lots of green space.
KL is easy to get around with a variety of rail systems including the monorail shown below.
In the Petronas Towers complex is a small but impressive concert hall where we saw a performance by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. Not my usual night out but a wothwhile experience.
Of course give me good coffee and I am happy - when you can have a taste of home at Gloria Jeans it's even better!
What an impressive and modern city KL is and what an amazing view from the KL tower. The pollution looks as if it is just as bad as in Bangkok. My GP said their as no mozzies in Bangkok because it is too polluted. So no need for a Malaria shot. Glad to see you have a purple T- shirt on. A pleasant change from the pink. Only 23 sleeps to go before we take off to visit you.
ReplyDeleteI see you're still addicted to coffee. I'm happy to join you in a coffee in Bangkok but may not join you in a high tower viewing experience.
