WHAT TO SEE IN KUALA LUMPUR: ATTRACTIONS, CAFES AND INTERESTING PLACES
Like many southeastern capitals, Kuala Lumpur is destined for the fate of the transshipment point. Rarely travelers stop here for longer than two nights, driven by the picturesque beauty of Langkawi, Borneo, Penanaga, Tioman and hundreds of other Malaysian islands. It is unlikely that in such a short period of time you can know the true spirit of the city, but this time is enough to admire and be surprised at the mixture of cultures, culinary traditions and religions.Start your exploration of the city from the historical center of the capital - Merdeka Square (at the intersection of Jalan Raja and Lebuh Pasar Besar) or Independence Square. The famous square for many years was considered the center of British colonial life, Flesh until 1957, when the Malays at the same place declared their independence from Britain. Now the square is the world's tallest 100-meter flagpole with the flag of Malaysia flying on it. On the edges of the square there are significant attractions of Kuala Lumpur: the 100-year-old palace of Sultan Abdul Samad (Jalan Raja).
The palace is named after Sultan Abdul Samad, ruler of Selangor. Above the construction of the refined building worked English architect Arthur Charles Normann, who united in the architecture of the palace colonial and Moorish styles. Not far from the SAS is another specimen of the Moorish heritage - the Textile Museum (Jalan Sultan Hishamduddin, 26), the National History Museum (Jalan Raja, 29) and the Numara Museum of Numismatics (Jalan Dato 'Onn, on the ground floor of the State Bank).
In 1998, another national pride - the Museum of Islamic Culture of Malaysia (Jalan Lembah Perdana) was added to the numerous museums of Kuala Lumpur. After admiring the old calligraphic scrolls, swords, encrusted with precious stones and embroidered blankets, you can appreciate the monumental beauty of one of the oldest mosques in the city of Masjid (Jalan Tun Perak). Old-style Moorish-style lacy buildings with bulbous domes also look organically amidst futuristic skyscrapers, as are office employees hurrying in business suits to the mosque to call the imam. In Kuala Lumpur, a mixture of past and present, antiquity and future creates an incredible atmosphere of the city-world, The creation of which is largely facilitated by migrants from India, China, Indonesia, introducing a new cultural emphasis in the image of the Malaysian capital. Walking along the ethnic corners of Kuala Lumpur is better to start with Little India, where narrow streets pulsate in one rhythm with Bollywood tunes,Silk shops, men with fragrant garlands of jasmine flowers, women in colorful saris. Go to the cafe to drink a glass of teh tarik - strong black tea with condensed milk, before you head to the noisy and stock-like Chinatown, where at every step you are waiting for merchants of fake bags, medicinal herbs and tea sets from the finest porcelain. Immerse yourself in the peace and quiet of the Buddhist temple of the 145-year-old temple of Sin Sze Si Ya (Lebuh Pudu, 14a), and then catch a taxi to get to Kampung Baru to see the real village life of the Malays slowly flowing in houses surrounded by bougainvillees. Another oasis of silence in the noisy metropolis can be found in the "Gardens near the lake" - five parks surrounding the picturesque lake. There is a park of orchids, hibiscuses, deer and butterflies, but the most attractive is the bird park (Jalan Cenderawasih, 920), the largest park in Southeast Asia. The park area is more than eight hectares, on which about 3000 birds of 200 varieties.
Visitors of the park are allowed to feed their pets, special food can be purchased on the territory. And if you are hungry yourself, then to your Ikan Bakar Asli Pak Din (Kiosk No. 5, restaurant patio Tanglin, Jalan Cenderasari), where you will be offered terrificly delicious fried fish
Of course, KL has many high-end restaurants with great chefs and Michelin-worthy. But still the best examples of Malay gastronomy can still be found exclusively in outdoor kitchens. The most famous culinary street in Kuala Lumpur is Jalan Alor.
Beginning from 4 pm and late into the night in all the nearby neighborhoods, fragrances come out from here, bursting out of the pots and pans, in which seafood, meat and poultry are boiling and roasting. Try in Cu Cha (71-75 Jalan Alor) delicious char kway teow - fried rice noodles with clams and shrimps. And in W.A.W. (7 Jalan Alor), choose the best chicken wings in the world.
