Merdeka Square is undoubtedly KL’s best known landmark. Also called Dataran Merdeka, it is set in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building (the former State Secretariat). Directly in front is the Royal Selangor Club and to the north is St. Mary’s Church, one of Malaysia’s oldest Anglican churches. Within the colonial core of Kuala Lumpur, where the remnants of the British empire are especially evident, Merdeka Square seems to be nothing more than a giant field with perfectly manicured green lawns and a centrepiece of the tallest flagpole in the world (95m) proudly displaying the Jalur Gemilang (Malaysian flag). At the corner of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Raja Laut, Merdeka Square is made up of a padang (field) that was once the Selangor Club cricket pitch

Central Market is a place you cannot miss. It is actually located in this building called the Pasar Seni. Pasar Seni has been around for a very long time. It was first established in 1888. Central Market is exactly at the side of Kasturi Walk at Pasar Seni. A short walking distance away, is the popular Chinatown (Petaling Street) of Kuala Lumpur. Central Market's location is so strategic that there is no way you can miss this place

Demandez à tous ceux qui sont allés en Malaisie ce qu'ils pensent de Petaling Street et ils vous diront qu'il s'agit d'un paradis du shopping, bien qu'il soit à la hauteur de ses homologues plus glamour, Bukit Bintang et KLCC. Célèbre quartier commerçant, il se transforme en un marché nocturne animé et dynamique à la nuit tombée, avec des centaines d'étals proposant toutes sortes d'articles à des prix dérisoires, ce qui en fait le marché nocturne le plus animé de la ville.

Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, built in 1864 by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy, is hailed as the oldest Taoist temple in Kuala Lumpur. Situated just a three-minute walk away from Petaling Street, the temple also functions as a cultural centre for the city’s Chinese community and is usually filled with devotees during significant occasions such as Chinese New Year. Sin Sze Ya Temple is dedicated to patron deities Sin Sze Ya and Si Sze Ya, who played significant roles in Yap Ah Loy's ascension to Kapitan status during the 19th century.

Au sud de Jalan Hang Lekir, niché sur Jalan Tun HS Lee, se trouve le temple Sri Mahamariamman, richement décoré. Intégrant des carreaux espagnols et italiens, des pierres précieuses et de l'or, le principal temple hindou de Kuala Lumpur offre un spectacle incongru, situé entre deux temples bouddhistes, à la lisière de Chinatown. Ce vaste et raffiné temple hindou a été fondé par des immigrants tamouls, originaires du sud de l'Inde, arrivés en Malaisie comme ouvriers contractuels pour construire les voies ferrées et les routes ou travailler dans les plantations d'hévéas. Son but premier était de leur offrir un refuge face aux rigueurs de leur vie professionnelle. Sa construction a débuté en 1873 et a été régulièrement restaurée et embellie au fil des ans.

Old-world Kampong Baru owes its rural vibe to the traditional Malay wooden stilt houses here, flanked by coconut palms and banana trees. Chickens and goats wander the narrow lanes, and stalls sell street food like grilled fish and dragon fruit smoothies. A lively weekly night market sells clothes and handicrafts, while nearby Chow Kit Market is known for produce, spices and textiles.

Petronas Twin Towers were once the tallest buildings in the world. Now the world’s tallest twin structures, the 88-storey buildings were designed by Cesar Pelli & Associates with both towers joined at the 41st and 42nd floors (175m above street level) by a 58 metre-long, double-decker Sky Bridge. Standing 452 metres tall, the Petronas Twin Towers retained its world-title claim to fame until 2004 when Taipei's 101 was built, measuring 508 metres tall. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (opened in 2010) retains the spot as the world’s tallest building. Located in the KL city centre, the Petronas Twin Towers’ architecture is Islamic-inspired and the buildings primarily house the corporate headquarters of the Petronas Company and other offices.
