An unforgettable experience! The view from the Petronas Observation Deck is absolutely stunning — especially at sunset. Everything was well-organized, the staff were friendly, and the skybridge walk made it extra special. A must-visit in Kuala Lumpur!
I came here by double-decker bus. There is a shopping mall in the basement of the Petronas Twin Towers. It is good for eating and shopping. There are many tourists. There is a piano on the first floor. Those who can play the piano can improvise a song. It is also nice to buy a popsicle to cool down. Checking in once is enough. I will climb the tower next time.

I saw a recommendation on Xiaohongshu that you must take the Sunset Flyer when you come to Kuala Lumpur. I exchanged my ticket early after arriving, but it took a long time to wait for the bus at night. I arrived at 7 o'clock and got on the bus at 8 o'clock! Then I need to get off at the original station. It is not a hop-on hop-off. It feels quite comfortable to have a breeze along the way.
The night sightseeing bus took nearly 2 hours in total, and we saw the beautiful night view of Kuala Lumpur. 🌃 We saw the Petronas Twin Towers up close, which was really magical. I loved it!

As a vibrant Southeast Asian metropolis, **Kuala Lumpur (KL)** gives tourists the impression of **diversity, bustle and high cost-effectiveness**, but there are also some pain points that may be encountered during travel. The following is a real experience from a personal perspective:
### **👍 Experiences worth praising**
#### **1. Check in at landmarks and take photos📸📸📸
The night view of the Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC)** is super beautiful, especially the light show in the Fountain Square, which creates a full atmosphere at night.
- **Independence Square** and **Sultan Abdul Samad Building**: colonial-style buildings, suitable for taking retro blockbusters.
- **Batu Caves**: colorful stairs and giant statues, with a strong Indian style (but there are so many monkeys, be careful to grab food!).
#### **2. Foodie paradise, street food explosion*🍻🌮🍗
- **Jalan Alor**: A must-go for tourists, there are many grilled chicken wings, satay, and durian stalls, but the prices are a bit expensive (locals recommend the small alleys around **Petaling Street**).
- **Nasi Lemak** and **Bak Kut Teh**: Must-try for breakfast! **Village Park** or **Xinfeng Bak Kut Teh** are recommended.
- **Mamak**: Roti Canai + Teh Tarik, a soul combination for midnight snacks!
#### **3. Shopping is fun and the prices are friendly** 👜👜
- **Pavilion KL** and **KLCC mall**: A full range of big brands, often with discounts, cheaper than domestic when the exchange rate is good.
- **Central Market**: Buy handicrafts and batik cloth, suitable for souvenir hunting.
- **Night market near Pavilion**: roadside stalls selling phone cases and accessories at night, bargaining starts at half price!
#### **4. Convenient transportation** ✈️🚝🚘
- **Grab taxis are cheap**, most of the city is 10-20 MYR, more reliable than taxis.
- **Metro (LRT/MRT)** can reach major attractions, but the transfer is a bit complicated (Google Maps is a must to check the route).
#### *5. Multicultural experience**
- You can see **mosques**, visit **Indian temples**, eat **Chinese teahouses** in one day, and the language is basically fluent in English + Chinese.
---
Complaint points**🤢🤢🤢🤢
**1. The weather is so hot that it melts
- 30℃+ all year round, high humidity, and sweating profusely after walking outdoors for 10 minutes. It is recommended to go out in the morning and evening, and avoid shopping malls at noon.
2. Some tourist attractions are "photo-cheating"**
- **Petaling Street (Chinatown)*
The Kuala Lumpur Tower is one of Kuala Lumpur's landmarks, located in the Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve in Bukit Bintang, at an altitude of 421 meters. From the observation deck at the top of the tower, you can see the entire city in 360 degrees, especially at night, the city lights are shining and the scenery is charming. In addition, the tower has facilities such as revolving restaurant, transparent glass viewing box and tower trails to provide a rich experience. If you like high-altitude views and city views, the Kuala Lumpur Tower is a good choice.

The style of Hayao Miyazaki's paintings. You need to queue up for about two hours for the small train. You enter in batches and reach the top of the mountain. You can overlook the pier. There is a restaurant on the top of the mountain with beautiful prices. Drink some beer or coffee and enjoy the breeze. It is very comfortable. Hinduism, Islam, and Catholicism gather together in harmony.
Malaysia🇲🇾Penang【Penang Hill】
Penang Hill
Standing on the top of Penang Hill, you can overlook the entire George Town and the cities on the Malay Peninsula across the strait! Riding the cable car on Penang Hill reminds me of the cable car on Hong Kong's Tin Ping Shan. They are basically the same. The only difference may be that this one is newer and the other one is already old.
Address: Stesen Bukit Bendera Pulau Pinang, the ticket office of the cable car station at the foot of Penang Hill
Transportation: Bus No. 201, No. 204, No. 502 can get there.
Tickets: Tickets, which are also cable car tickets, are 30 Malaysian ringgits round trip (50 ¥)
Time: 6:30-23:00
⚠️Be sure to buy fast track tickets on holidays, otherwise you will have to queue for several hours

Strolling and eating in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur.
Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur is a must-visit place, and it is also a place where good and bad people mix. It was built in the 1850s by Chinese miners. In 1880, Malaysian Chinese Yap Ah Loy opened a cassava flour processing factory here. Because cassava is called "ci" in Cantonese, it was named "Petaling Street". After the factory closed in 1882, this place gradually developed into a vibrant Chinatown.
Here you will have an illusion that you have returned to China. Chinese elements can be seen everywhere, including Chinese archways, buildings, and stalls.
There are many Chinese shops selling all kinds of things, as well as gold shops, Chinese spices, local specialties, etc. At night, many stalls will be set up and it will be very crowded. There are all kinds of fruits at moderate prices. I also bought delicious soy milk and delicious ginger candy tofu. There are also rice noodle rolls and stuffed tofu, sugar-free pork porridge, braised duck, wonton noodles, etc.
There are several famous food stores, such as the clay pot coffee and roast meat in Bihualou, Shengji clay pot, Xinjiuru beef noodles, Hejiu Hainanese tea shop, etc. Many stores have to queue up.
I also met a beautiful woman taking pictures. I don’t know which country she is an internet celebrity or a star.
A trip to Kuala Lumpur isn’t complete without wandering through Petaling Street Market. Bustling with energy, it’s packed with street food, souvenirs, and hidden gems. I tried some delicious dim sum and grabbed a refreshing bubble tea while browsing the stalls. A lively spot for food and bargain hunting!

The Floating Mosque is located in Sabah, Malaysia. The white building is reflected in the water, which is suitable for taking photos. The opening hours are 8:00-17:00, and long clothes and long pants are required. Tanjong Aru Beach is a 15-minute drive from the mosque and is one of the three major sunset destinations in the world. The best viewing time is 18:00-18:30. Both attractions are free to open. It is recommended to go to the beach to watch the sunset after visiting the mosque in the afternoon.
Pink Mosque Take the Yellow Line No. 12 subway to the terminal station Putrajaya. After exiting the station, take a taxi to Putrajaya Lakeside Club. The fare is 7 yuan. Here you can clearly see the panoramic view of the Pink Mosque in the water across the lake. Take a walk along the lakeside and feel the tranquility of the surroundings. For 2 yuan per person, a boat will take you from the shore to the Pink Mosque (cash is not accepted, but Alipay is accepted). Because I didn’t figure out the time when tourists can enter the mosque (unfortunately I didn’t get in before 10 o’clock), you can also go to the Pink Mosque first and then go to the Lakeside Club to see the panoramic view of the mosque in the water.

Stunning Sunsets: Ranked as one of the world's most beautiful beaches for watching sunsets by National Geographic, it boasts the second-most beautiful sunsets in the world, offering stunning views of the fiery clouds. As the sun sets, the sky glows red, and the sea shimmers.
Soft and Fine Sand: The sand is as soft as carpet and feels comfortable on bare feet. The waves are gentle, perfect for playing in the water, and you can even spot small crabs crawling around on the beach.
• Convenient Location: Located west of Kota Kinabalu city, it's only a 10-15 minute drive from the city center and close to Kota Kinabalu Airport, making it easily accessible for both locals and tourists.
• Abundant Amenities: The beachfront promenade often hosts evening barbecues with live bands. Nearby is King Philip Park, featuring gardens, recreational facilities, a children's playground, a jogging path, and a central artificial lake with a musical fountain show.
Public beach with a long coastline, fairly white sand, if you want to sit you have to pay at a table that has been prepared, only the table area is cleaned, while on the beach, there is a lot of rubbish strewn about, but overall it is very good.

This night market is quite big and long, very popular, and has a large flow of customers~
The whole night market is mainly food, and the popular online merchants are very popular, so you have to wait for a seat~
The taste is pretty good, but the service is not very good, with local characteristics, and the service is very casual~
The environment is pretty good, and it is quite spacious for a night market. It is not bad to just walk around and experience the local night market culture~
It was a trip to Malaysia with family. we visited Jalan Alor. We had good time there and really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambiance there

It was wonderful.The staff was profeaaional and friensly.The captain of the boat was helpful.The guide was very useful.The scenery was amazing..
The Melaka River Cruise is a magical way to explore the heart of the historic city from a unique perspective. As the boat glides along the river, you’re treated to colorful murals, charming bridges, colonial buildings, and vibrant street art that tell the story of Melaka’s rich cultural heritage. The night cruise is especially enchanting, with twinkling lights reflecting on the water and a cool breeze setting the perfect mood. It’s peaceful, scenic, and full of photo-worthy moments.
