Travelling to Kuala Lumpur
About Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia, lies midway along the West Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It represents the heartbeat of Malaysia, serving as its cultural, commercial and transportation hub. Better known as KL to the locals, the city is a heady mix of history and culture intertwined with mushrooming skyscrapers and office towers.
Kuala Lumpur is the best example of a city that has managed to preserve the best of its cultural heritage and combine it with modern conveniences to offer a wholly unique experience to visitors. With the combination of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other ethnic groups making up 100% of population, Malaysia is a symbol of integrity and cooperation of all races.
Come and experience a diversity of Asian cultures in a single destination. Meet the warm and friendly people. English is widely spoken.
Multiculturalism has not only made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise, it has also made Malaysia home to hundreds of colourful festivals. Geographically, Malaysia is as diverse as its culture. There are two parts to the country, 11 states in the peninsular of Malaysia and two states on the northern part of Borneo. Cool hideaways are found in the highlands that roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid mangroves.
