Kuala Lumpur Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Petronas Twin Towers Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant and multicultural city
After a 6-hour flight from Beijing on Malaysia Airlines, I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, where the tropical atmosphere hit me immediately. The moist air, lush greenery, and those warm faces welcomed me to this city that boasts a long history of cultural heritage and modernity. I decided to explore on foot for a day to gain a deeper understanding of this colorful capital.
Petronas Twin Towers: The landmark of Kuala Lumpur, a must-visit spot for anyone coming to the Malaysian capital. Inspired by Islamic art and Malay traditional architecture, it integrates modern architectural art. Its twin tower structure symbolizes the fusion and harmonious coexistence of Malaysia's multiculturalism.
Address: Menara Berkembar Petronas, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Nu Sentral Instagrammable Elevator: This elevator has become quite a sensation, located right at the main entrance of Nu Sentral shopping mall, by the elevator of the metro light rail.
TV Station Light Rail Instagrammable Spot: To reach this spot, go to Bukit Bintang Road, then take the elevator to the top floor, where there's a small garden outside a coffee shop. You need to lift your camera high over the iron fence to get a good shot.
Saloma Pedestrian Bridge: A pedestrian bridge in the city center that spans the Klang River, connecting Kampung Baru and Jalan Ampang, complementing the Petronas Twin Towers in the background.
Transportation: Get off at the LRT Kampung Baru station, and you'll see it as soon as you exit the station.
Kuala Lumpur is a vibrant and multicultural city, suitable for solo travelers to explore. Are you tempted?
Flying twice a year, Kuala Lumpur has had a huge impact on me
I've been to Malaysia 🇲🇾 several times before, mostly island-hopping, and my impression of Southeast Asia has always been 'nature'. Kuala Lumpur was a surprise; it's quite like Singapore and Hong Kong, more prosperous, with a high degree of cultural integration;
Many people think Kuala Lumpur is not fun, but I feel Kuala Lumpur is not a place for play, it's more suitable for eating, drinking, shopping, and leisure vacations⛱️. It's incredibly enjoyable, and hotels and rentals are really cheap; to sum it up simply: you can spend very little and enjoy a prosperity that exceeds that of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen
The most satisfying points!!!
1⃣️🍜 The food is too delicious, leaning towards the tastes of Guangdong and Fujian, suitable for the constitution of Chinese babies, here are a few recommendations:
-Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle: The ceiling of fish head noodles, very fresh, recommended by a friend
-Sun Fong Bak Kut Teh: Both wet and dry Bak Kut Teh are delicious
-Jalan Alor: Followed the trend to go, but every dish is incredibly delicious, very worthwhile! Not sure why some people would say it's not good!
2⃣️ Hotel accommodations!
Almost every hotel comes with an outdoor swimming pool🏊♀️ and a gym! There are so many five-star hotels in KL that you can choose until you're dizzy, and those that offer views of the Petronas Towers at night are really worth it! Recommended!
The first time I went, I stayed at a friend's apartment, and I was shocked by the price of the apartment! Cheap...
3⃣️ Climate!
Who would have thought that the tropical region is not hot in July, and in the evening you don't even need to turn on the air conditioning. Just take a bottle of wine, sit by the outdoor pool, and be happy!
4⃣️ Culture
Kuala Lumpur is mainly composed of Malays, Chinese, and Indians, and you can see various integrations in architecture, cuisine, etc. However, since the religion is Islam, it is generally conservative. What impressed me was the Indian ladies on the streets wearing veils that only showed their eyes, each carrying Hermès and LV bags. I kept thinking about how their colleagues would distinguish them
You can also experience the old Fujian and Guangdong culture, many Chinese shops still retain many old traditions, such as handwritten menus in ordinary restaurants, which are still simply designed rather than a random piece of white paper
Beware of pitfalls⚠️:
1⃣️ Shopping: Many people say Kuala Lumpur is great for shopping, but I find it hard to judge, it depends on what you compare it with. Chanel makeup has discounts, many popular items from brands are out of stock, even if you walk into Hermès, you can't buy 🤷♀️, and the price advantage is average. Only a few watch shops I saw really had cheaper prices than in China
2⃣️ Internet-famous tourist spots: Places like the Pink Mosque🕌️ are worth visiting, the Petronas Towers are only suitable for distant shots, don't have too high expectations for most other places, otherwise....
TIPS:
1. Using Grab to take a taxi is very convenient, pay with cash!
2. Chain convenience stores like 7-11 and luxury stores can use Alipay.

Heaven of Kunafa
Kunafa fingers in Bukit Bintang served up a delightful treat! The dessert was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, leaving a lasting impression on my taste buds. The sweet layers of Kunafa pastry wrapped around the creamy, gooey cheese filling created an irresistible combination.
The portion size was just right, allowing me to savor every bite without feeling overwhelmed. The presentation was also appealing, adding to the overall experience. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service, making the visit even more enjoyable.
Located in the heart of Bukit Bintang, the accessibility of Kunafa fingers was a plus, making it a great spot for a sweet indulgence after exploring the city.
