The Amazing Skyline of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur in recent times has shaken off decades of inertia and emerged as one of the most happening tourist destinations of Southeast Asia.

KL, as Kuala Lumpur is known, is the capital and largest city of Malaysia but along with that it is an amazing mosaic of various communities and cultures. Along with the predominant Malay population live the Indian as well as the Chinese communities. This is a city where the past and present too co-exist in a fantastic design. If there are old colonial buildings like the Royal Selangor Club and the sporting clubs of Dataran Merdeka, there is also the shiny Petronas tower, a marvel of modern architecture.

Until recently the Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world before being bypassed by Taipei 101. They are however still the tallest twin buildings and an amazing sight to behold, especially against the night sky. Some of the main occupants of the Tower are Petronas and its subsidiaries, the KLCC Park and the Suria KLCC while the skybridge, the waterpark and a double-decker lift system are some of its highlights. The all-glass shell of the Petronas Towers gives the exterior a classy contemporary look.

For those intent on seeing the Petronas Towers in real, a trip to KL is a very good idea. Check out www.ooaha.com for best Kuala Lumpur hotel deals.
