Kuala Lumpu- Known for its Culture, Food and Shopping

Both Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are very comparable in terms of the deafening. But there are some places which are simply worth a visit herSe in Malaysia's capital city.

The first and foremost place is Petronas Twin Towers, which was known as the tallest building in the world, until Taiwan came up with their own 1O1. You will find long lines that are constantly forming from 8.30am onwards for the free passes up the tower screening gallery. But you must be careful that that they would only concern around 800 free passes per day for the guided tour, so try to reach there before. The guided tour will help you in exploring the city.

At a shaking height of 458 meters, Petronas Twin Towers, a pair of 88-storey buildings, is the uppermost place to take in the view of Kuala Lumpur. There is also the Philharmonic Theatre, that background one with superb music from the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Second famous icon of KL is the Kuala Lumpur Tower which is located on a hill called Bukit Nanas.  This tower has an observatory platform that is merely available by tall speed lifts. Taking the lifts up clocks less than a minute and the view from the observatory tower is striking. You can get a bird's eye view of the Twin Tower and other magnificent buildings in close areas.  You will also find a very comfortable, revolving restaurant at the top of the tower, presenting excellent beat and great service at affordable price. Including all these, live music, outstanding food, marvellous views of the city, this is the place to be in.

So far, Sunway Lagoon is almost certainly one the best incorporated resorts in Malaysia. Inside the holiday resort itself there is a shopping complex with over 300 shops, an astonishingly big lagoon, an Extreme park, Zoo, archery range, bowling alley and a water theme park. Beside the shopping mall and the resort you will find a first-class hotel. Numerous restaurants provide outstanding cuisine too. It's self adequate, and certainly a well-worth trip to create.

Back to KL city centre, the Merdeka Square houses the tallest flagpole and has a very old fountain. It is constantly packed with tourists and a visit at night would be much cooler. The Merdeka Square is among the majestic Court House and the Selangor Club. The Central Market and Chinatown are also a simple 10 minutes walk away. While on the other hand, Chinatown that is also known as Petaling Street is one of Kuala Lumpur's most accepted tourist destinations.

So, if you are travelling by bus to Kuala Lumpur, then it would be very safe, comfy & amazingly inexpensive alternative to travel overall and especially from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. In fact, Kl to Singapore takes less hours by bus as compare to train. However, it is a breathtaking experience, contrasting flying or even taking buses, relaxing on a train on the traditional colonial age single-track railway and passing through charming beauty of palm cultivated areas and little countryside stations with lush foliage is far better than using a bus on a rather monotonous & unexciting contemporary highway.
