Like many capital cities in the world, Kuala Lumpur gets even more alive at night. Every landmark building across the city is brightly lit, lending a festive air to the capital each night. This is the time when KLites get out to enjoy the city’s nightlife.


KL’s pride
The famous Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest twin towers in the world, is a must-visit for tourists. The landmark has become not only the symbol of KL but of the nation as well.


Golden Triangle area
People thronging the numerous trendy sidewalk cafes in front of the Sungei Wang Plaza, one of the oldest shopping complexes in the city.


City’s landmark
The Sultan Abdul Samad building has long been seen as one of KL’s oldest landmarks. The building, which formerly housed the highest courts in the land, is still a popular tourist destination, mostly due to its proximity to the nearby Dataran Merdeka, the site of many carnivals and open-air events.


Quaint atmosphere
Petaling Street, KL’s Chinatown, is a hive of activity. People are drawn to the area, thanks to its cheap items and good food.


Outstanding
The KL Tower, standing tall at 421m, is a visible landmark, especially at night with the revolving restaurant at the top brightly lit.


Eye-catching
The panel walls of Wisma Fui Chiu, situated near Petaling Street, lend glamour to the city’s landscape.
