Strolling around kl

Kuala Lumpur. A vibrant city. The capital of multicultural and multi-religious harmony.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is a country composed of various religions, exuding an exotic atmosphere. Visit the Hindu holy site - Batu Caves, climb the 272 rainbow steps, and marvel at the majestic statues that make one feel the insignificance of humanity. The iconic attraction is, of course, the Petronas Twin Towers. Seeing it in person is the only way to truly appreciate its grandeur, especially at night when every photo looks surreal. Mosques, each mosque is very unique, and the Pink Mosque is a must-visit; its color is truly stunning. When visiting several mosques, women should remember to dress modestly and cover their heads! Men should not wear shorts, and scarves are available for free inside. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building and Independence Square are historically significant buildings, but unfortunately, you can only take photos from the outside. I joined a day tour to Malacca, finally visiting a place often mentioned in textbooks. It is evident that this place was once ruled by many countries, leaving behind various historical buildings. I was particularly amazed that many buildings are over 300 years old and still well-preserved, which is truly impressive. Of course, when in Kuala Lumpur, you must try the famous local snacks. There are so many options, such as Bak Kut Teh, Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak, Hokkien Mee, and many more. Each one is worth a try! Looking forward to visiting other cities in Malaysia next time!
