Sightseeing in Kuala Lampur
- Petronas Twin Towers
In Kuala Lumpur’s central business district stand the twin structures of the Petronas Towers. From 1998 to 2004, the towers were the tallest buildings in the world, usurped only by Taiwan’s Taipei 101. The Petronas Towers still hold the title of tallest twin towers in the world. The Park Stay at Kuala Lumpur Apartments is a good accommodation option in this area.

Located in the northern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur is this important Hindu site dedicated to Lord Murugan. Upon exiting the train station, visitors to the site are welcomed by a gigantic golden statue of the Hindu diety. To get to the cave temples, visitors climb up 272 steps carved on the side of a limestone cliff.
