Petronas Twin Towers

The twin towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Today it is the tallest twin structure in the world. It is designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates. It is 88 stories high. The two towers are located on the 41st and 42nd floors. The observation deck at the Petronas Twin Towers is on the 86th floor, where visitors can see a close-up view of the tower’s spire and digital displays and an exhibition of the history of the tower.

Petronas Twin Peaks’s double-deck flyover is one of its main attractions because it offers stunning views of the city. In addition to allowing tenants on the tower to move from one building to another without having to enter the ground, Skybridge is also used as an emergency exit route. Please note that entering the bridge requires a pass, so make sure to get there as early as possible as the queues can be very long.

Perhaps the biggest attraction of Chinatown is the rows of stalls that sell everything from food to clothing at low prices.

However, if you look further, you will find that Chinatown is more than just fake branded goods. Chinatown is almost full of Chinese restaurants and hawker stalls, selling everything from steam heads to seafood. You can see Chinese restaurants almost anywhere, its kitchen smells brilliant, and you are welcome to step inside to taste the food.

These are not the only things you can find here. Chinatown has many popular delicacies that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. The best part about these places is that they are open until late at night until early in the morning. Chinatown’s most famous shopping area is undoubtedly located on Petaling Street.

The street is marked by a huge green awning that protects shoppers from rain and daytime heat. There are shops and stalls all over the street, and shops sell everything at low prices, from counterfeit fashion items to delicious hawker food. The best thing is that you can bargain because bargaining is the way of life here.

7. Jalan Alor at Bukit Bintang

Jalan Alor has many hawker stalls and seafood restaurants, making it one of the most famous food trails in Kuala Lumpur. Nestled behind Jalan Bukit Bintang and a short walk from Changkat Bukit Bintang, it is the most popular nightclub gathering place in the Golden Triangle area.

Known as the cultural heritage of the city’s local cuisine, tourists rarely take risks here, mainly because of its “hidden” geographic location.

In stark contrast to the stylish Jalan Bukit Bintang and Changkat Bukit Bintang, Jalan Alor has traditional charm, including air-conditioned Chinese seafood restaurants, bright fluorescent restaurant signage lighting, and small red Chinese lanterns strung on the tree.

However, it’s also a bit confusing, as rows of endless hawker stalls line the five-foot-long sidewalk, with plastic tables and chairs spilling down the road.

A highlight of Aquaria KLCC is a huge tank (with real wreckage of the shipwreck)-a 90m transit tunnel with a moving walkway in the middle.

At Level 2, you will travel through the Amazon flooded forest, where there are oversized arapaimas, red-tailed catfish, and many other animals; next, head to the coast to admire archerfish, horse, and more.
