Kuala Lumpur (KL) emerged in 1860s when a band of tin prospectors landed at the meeting point of the Sungai Klang and Sungai Gombak (2 rivers) and named it Kuala Lumpur (Muddy Confluence). The lure of ore quickly turned KL into a brawling, noisy boomtown and the current affluent modern Asian capital.
Petronas Twin Towers, completed in year 1998 and the cost of USD 1.9 billion. Built by a Korean and a Japanese company separately. Height at 451.9m with 88 floors per tower. Designed by an Argentinian architect.
The only thing that is truely Malaysian is probably the concrete for construction. Even most of the workers are foreigners. :)
Sharing from my China friend, Qing Rong.
i knew her when i was in India.
双峰塔 原为世界上最高的摩天大厦（直至2004年台北的101大厦夺走了这一地位），美轮美奂，是国家石油公司的总部。这座钢筋和玻璃搭成的标志性建筑融合了传统的伊斯兰象征主义风格与现代的复杂精密设计。
我到了吉隆坡的第二天，就迫不及待的拿着地图，坐轻轨到了一个叫KLCC的站下车。跟着人群走，发现到了一个诺大无比的商场，世界诸多奢侈品牌均在此开店，如LV、CHANEL、CARTIER、GUCCI等等。心想，先别逛了，先找到双峰塔吧！于是，找到一个出口，走出商场。掏出指南针，比划了半天，确定了方向，抬脚就往前走！才走了几步，回头一看，啊，双峰塔就矗立在眼前！原来，刚才到的商场就是双峰塔的底层。当时，第一感觉是：真TMD高啊！
当我11点到达参见天桥的门票发放点的时候，才知道当天的免费参观门票已经发放完毕了！当我上到空中天桥的时候，已是次日9点到达，领到了11:15分的票。
在吉隆坡的时日较长，而最爱的事情就是到KLCC四楼的书局，看中文书（当然是只看不买的那种）。因此对双峰塔的观赏也是多个角度的：近看、远看、白天看、晚上看。看得多了，也就没感觉了！
哦，这就是双峰塔！
当然，在双峰塔下面，能碰到很多的中国人，因为此景点是新马泰中的必游景点之一！

Shopping... But actually it is really expensive for Malaysian standard.
Batu Cave, the Hindu holy site. Climb up hundreds of small steep steps to get to the temple.
