Saloma Bridge Kuala Lumpur, a beautiful bridge with stunning night views! Saloma Bridge, commonly known as Saloma Bridge, is the newest landmark in Kuala Lumpur that you shouldn’t miss, especially if you love photographing night lights. This pedestrian bridge is about 370 meters long, connecting the Kampung Baru area and the Dang Wangi LRT station, making travel more convenient. What makes Saloma Bridge stand out is its beautiful and modern design, inspired by the "Sireh Junjung," a symbol of welcome in Malay culture. The bridge is beautiful during the day but even more spectacular at night because it is decorated with colorful LED lights that change beautifully, especially blue, navy, and purple, contrasting with the lights of the Petronas Twin Towers behind it, making the view even more stunning. It’s definitely a popular photo spot that everyone must check in at! I was a bit disappointed because I visited during the day, but the daylight has its own charm too. Getting to Saloma Bridge is very easy—just take the LRT to Dang Wangi station and walk a few minutes following the signs to the bridge entrance. It’s very convenient. The best time to visit is recommended to be early evening after sunset to see both the bridge lights and the twin towers. Saloma Bridge is definitely a must-visit tourist spot when you come to Kuala Lumpur.

#Rainy season attractions Atmosphere/Location - Near the Red Line MRT station, you can get off at Kampung Baru station and walk for a few minutes. When you arrive at your destination from the bridge, you can clearly see the Twin Towers. After the sun sets, the lights will be displayed in alternating colors. Walking across the bridge at night is also romantic in a different way. Average price per person - Traveling by MRT in Malaysia is much cheaper than in Thailand. If you stay in Chinatown, taking the MRT costs 2-3 ringgit or about 14-21 Thai baht, depending on the exchange rate at that time. Personally, I like Malaysia because it is convenient to travel and people can speak both English and sometimes Chinese, so it is not a problem for traveling. Address - Saloma Link, Lorong Raja Muda Musa 3, Kampung Baru, 50300 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Read about Pintasan Saloma Link Bridge near to Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and decided to visit it on a weekday evening. It is about less than 10mins walk from KLCC. Good idea to visit only night fall and it is less hot and the views are spectacular, especially with the KLCC as background. There are many people visiting this bridge just to snaps sone photos with friends and family. Highly recommended for you to visit during weekday night, it is also quite windy.
