Kuala Lumpur's offbeat check-in spot 🦋 The only blue mosque in the world that scores full marks for healing.

On this trip to Malaysia, this is one of my favorite places, it's really more beautiful than I imagined!! I exclaimed "wow" on the bus because it's really more spectacular and beautiful than in pictures!

💙Where is this?
This is the full name of the mosque: Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan, located in the small town of Shah Alam in the southwest of Kuala Lumpur, only a 30-minute drive away. It is a super large iconic mosque with a blue-colored glass dome, towering minarets, and Malay-style interior. The most famous blue mosque is in Istanbul, Turkey, and another blue mosque in the world is right here.
💙How to play?
Enter through the main entrance, where a guide will lead you to change clothes and provide a free tour and explanation. It is not a self-guided tour. I joined the 2pm guided tour, which was a suitable time. Photography is allowed everywhere except for the indoor chapel, where it is restricted. However, please maintain quietness and do not disturb others.
💙How to take a photo?
If possible, be sure to bring a wide-angle lens! You can capture very spectacular images! Don't worry about clothing matching, all the girls will change into blue robes when they enter the exhibition, which is very appropriate. The robes are all very clean, so you don't have to worry about wearing dirty clothes worn by others.
💙Is the transportation convenient?
In Malaysia, it's very convenient to use Grab to go anywhere. Just locate the destination and call for a ride. The journey takes about 30 minutes and costs around 35 Malaysian Ringgit. Considering that there is no entrance fee for the mosque, it's still very cost-effective!

Kuala Lumpur Blue Mosque
There are only two blue mosques in the world, one in Turkey and the other in Kuala Lumpur. Mentioned the Blue Mosque, many people may not know much, because many tour groups will take you to the Pink Mosque, but I personally recommend this small blue mosque.
Kuala Lumpur is a bit good, many attractions are free, and there are free explanations. This blue mosque is called bule mosque, about 20 minutes drive from the city. Really fried chicken is suitable for taking pictures, and the focus is on very few people. When you walk into it, you will feel a sense of enthusiasm. It is necessary to remind you to respect the local culture, change clothes and slippers, and some places can not take pictures. Oh.
xiexufengzi.

Kuala Lumpur Blue Mosque: Blue Dome, Feel the Sacred.
Kuala Lumpur Blue Mosque
× Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque
One is in Turkey, the other is right here in Kuala Lumpur
This is also known as the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque, and it is one of the largest mosques in Malaysia, famous for its spectacular blue dome and minarets. It's super photogenic and not crowded! If you're in Kuala Lumpur, then hurry up and save this spot for a visit!
Opening hours: 8:00-17:00
🚄Transport: It costs about 27 Malaysian Ringgit to take a taxi directly from downtown Kuala Lumpur.
Dress code suggestion: Ladies can wear skirts because a blue robe will be provided before entering. However, it's still best to wear socks since you'll need to take off your shoes, and it might be uncomfortable to walk barefoot the whole time.
Photography tips: The blue and white mosque is truly beautiful! The different geometric structures make every casual shot a piece of art. Especially when the sunlight shines through the blue glass and the carved windows, it's breathtaking.
Free guided tours are available here, and the guides are very dedicated. They will introduce the history and architectural features of the mosque in detail, which is very touching.
🙀Note:
1. After entering through the main gate fountain, you will be led by a guide for the tour, and you cannot roam freely. But don't worry, the guide will give you time to take photos.
2. Although there is a free guided tour service, the tours are at fixed times. We arrived at 4:30 and had to wait until 5:00, so plan your time well!
The Kuala Lumpur Blue Mosque is definitely worth a visit. Here, you can feel the solemnity and sanctity of religion, as well as appreciate the charm and art of the architecture. Why not take some time to experience the unique allure of this blue mosque for yourself?
