Place To Visit Around Kuala Lumpur

Who would have thought 130 years, Kuala Lumpur or KL as the locals call it now, would grow from a small mining town to a modern, bustling city and home to one of the world's tallest buildings. The city offers an interesting blend of the old and new. Its skyline of soaring modern skyscrapers incorporates a ground level bustle of street markets and colonial architecture, creating a city that rewards exploration.

Kuala Lumpur Railway Station

Make it a point to get to the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station on Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin. The grand building of the early 1900-s, it is now a station-cum-hotel. Arches, beautiful spires and seven shapely minarets highlight the North Indian Islamic inspired building. Head for the bridge on Jalan Kinabalu and you'll be able to see just why the Railway Station is such a grand beauty, holding its own amongst the tall, brand new skyscrapers
