Kuala Lumpur (or “KL,” as the locals address her) is the capital of Malaysia. Looking at the megalopolis today, the days when it all began in the 1850s as mud flats and tin deposits seem so distant they are unimaginable. You will find traces of history in the beautifully preserved architecture, but today Kuala Lumpur is the International Garden City of Lights where shoppers are spoiled for choices from street vendors to luxurious boutiques, connoisseurs broaden their palates, party animals find sanctuaries, and naturists are wowed. Whoever you are, this vibrant, multicultural city awaits with endless offers.
