Some Place s to Visit in Kuala Lumpur

Twin Towers KLCC

Soaring to a height of 451.9 metres, the 88-storey twin structure is Kuala Lumpur's crown jewel. Majestic by day and dazzling at night, the PETRONAS Twin Towers is inspired by Tun Mahathir Mohamad's vision for Malaysia to be a global player. Together with master architect Cesar Pelli, the international icon powerfully captures the nation's ambitions and aspirations.

Visit and experience the PETRONAS Twin Towers first-hand. Begin tour with interactive displays that showcase the journey, from idea to completion. Scale 170 meters in an elevator with a futuristic edge. The doors will open at the Skybridge, a connecting structure between the towers and the world's highest 2-storey bridge. Ascend even higher to level 86, where the story of Malaysia's vision unfolds amid breathtaking views of Kuala Lumpur. Then wrap up your visit with exquisite souvenirs at the gift shop.

You can also enjoy shopping in KLCC shopping center located at twin towers.

Genting Highlands

Genting Highlands is an integrated resort development comprising hotels, casinos and a theme park in Pahang, perched on the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali at 1,800 meters high. Nestled near the border of Selangor within an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur (about 35km), Genting Resort presents a popular weekend getaway from the city heat, conveniently connected by the Karak Highway and major trunk roads, along with a cable car service from the satellite town of Gohtong Jaya. On a clear day, the peak overlooks lush valleys of rainforest stretching towards KL, a breathtaking view for visitors as they enjoy the cooling weather and serene mountain environment.

Since 1971, Genting Highlands has remained the only legal gambling outfit in Malaysia, riddled at some sections with kitschy architecture, bright lights and squawking tourists. While the casinos are central to Genting Highlands, the theme park provides fun rides and activities for adults and children alike, while the First World Plaza is a colorful shopping center with a collection of family restaurants and trendy outlets. Meanwhile, more tourist attractions lie within the vicinity of Gohtong Jaya, such as the Strawberry Farm and Chin Swee Temple. Genting Resort offers five major hotels; First World Hotel, the largest hotel in Asia with over 6,000 budget rooms; Theme Park Hotel caters for family accommodation with easy access to the Outdoor Theme Park; Resort Hotel is a midrange choice that bridges luxury and simplicity; Maxims Genting is a five star resort with opulent suites; and the Highlands Hotel is restricted to Genting WorldCard members and casino guests.

Berjaya Hills

- Colmar Tropicale, Berjaya Hills:

Relish in century old Alsace charm at this French- themed resort settled at 2,700 feet above sea level amidst 80 acres of rainforest.Let the medieval french village and picturesque surroundings bring you back to an era steeped in culture amd romance.

From families and groups, to honeymooners and the pure romantics,Colmar Tropicale beckons you with enchanting grace and hospitality.

- Berjaya Hills Japanese Village or Japanese Garden:

is located away from Colmar Tropicale so it is a short drive there. Not to worry as there are many signs along the way there. On reaching the foot of the Japanese Village, there are 3 car parks areas available. If you are going on the weekend, I suggest you park at the middle car park and wait for the shuttle or walk up as the entrance car park would probably full. If you go on a weekday, just go to the entrance of the Japanese Garden.
