Kuala Lumpur is a cosmopolitan city of modernity, an epitome of what Malaysia is set to be. It has the best shopping centres, restaurants and transportation in the country. Not only that, it is the financial centre and capital city of Malaysia! It houses two of the tallest buildings in the world - the Petronas Twin Towers.
Kuala Lumpur not only borders on modernity, it has plenty of culture and heritage. It is the prime example of a multi-cultural pot of different races such as the Malays, Chinese and Indians. It is a cool place to be in.
Kuala Lumpur is the ideal city for first-time travellers to Asia. Taxis are cheap and plentiful but it is often better to take KL Rail Transit System because the road system cannot cope with the ever-growing traffic.
The monorail is one of the best ways to do some sightseeing. Air conditioned cars with panoramic windows allow you to have a bird's eye view; yet avoid the rush hour traffic. [edit text][editors]
