What travelers say:
head-img
The Merdeka Square in Kuala Lumpur is a landmark attraction in Malaysia and is well worth a visit. It is a symbol of Malaysia's independence. On August 31, 1957, the Malaysian flag was raised here for the first time, declaring the country's independence. At the south end of the square stands the world's tallest flagpole, which is 100 meters high and is a popular spot for tourists to take photos. The square is surrounded by many historical buildings, such as the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, whose architectural style combines Victorian and Moorish elements and is of great ornamental value. In addition, the Merdeka Square also has fountains, colonnades and flower beds, with a beautiful environment suitable for leisurely walks. This place is not only a witness to history, but also a cultural and activity center in Kuala Lumpur. Important festivals such as National Day are held here every year.
