Today, this historic heart of KL is preserved with beautifully manicured lawns, terraces and a fountain. Adjacent to Dataran Merdeka is the Royal Selangor Club, a mock-Tudor structure with an interesting history. The 100m high flagpole at Dataran Merdeka is one of the tallest in the world.

One of the most prominent and distinguished landmarks of KL, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is an enduring attraction amidst the rapidly changing city skyline.

The building houses a Tourist Information Centre. Kuala Lumpur traces its origins as a mining outpost for the tin trade in the 1800’s.
