City guide
The delights of Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur started off as a boomtown just 150 years ago, and doesn’t have the pedigree of many an ancient Asian city. No matter: it has barely slowed down since its founding, yet has not lost any of its tumultuous character.
KL’s blend of old and new, ramshackle and chic, make it a fascinating place. Wander around and get a feel for the contemporary vibe and business energy of the city, then kick back in a Taoist temple or a relaxing old-style coffee house, where afternoons just seem to drift away.
