KL Tower

Kuala Lumpur Tower, also known as KL Tower is a 15-story, 421-meter-tall telecommunication tower in Kuala Lumpur. It is the world's 7th tallest tower, also, Malaysia and Southeast Asia's tallest tower. Its construction was completed on 1 March 1995. It features an antenna that increases its height to 421 metres (1,381 feet). The roof of the pod is at 335 metres (1,099 feet). The rest of the tower below has a stairwell and an elevator to reach the upper area, which also contains a revolving restaurant, providing diners with a panoramic view of the city. Races are held annually, where participants race up the stairs to the top. The tower also acts as the Islamic falak observatory to observe the crescent moon which marks the beginning of Muslim month of Ramadhan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah, to celebrate fasting month of Ramadhan, Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Aidiladha.

Jalan Alor

(Night Food Market)

Alor Street, or Jalan Alor in Malay, is an entire street dedicated to cheap hawker food of mainly local Chinese cuisines. Located within walking proximity of Bintang Walk, it is popular among the locals for offering food served in a traditional open-air atmosphere, with chairs and tables dotting the curbs and road-sides. This is a place burgeoning with activity both during night and day. While some hawkers erect stalls along curbs, others operate food stalls from utilitarian restaurants. The food served in local hawker stalls is generally cleaner than their counterparts in Malaysia's less-developed neighbouring countries. For local and foreign Muslim, most of the stalls are non-halal which served pork, frog and beer.

Sri Mahamariamman Temple

The Sri Mahamariamman Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur. Founded in 1873, it is situated at the edge of Chinatown in Jalan Bandar (formerly High Street). In 1968, a new structure was built, featuring the ornate 'Raja Gopuram' tower in the style of South Indian temples. From its inception, the temple provided an important place of worship for early Indian immigrants and is now an important cultural and national heritage. Built in the South Indian style, the temple's most outstanding feature is the impressive 5-tiered gopuram (tower). It is the tallest structure in the temple. The dramatic 22.9 m (75 ft) high pyramid-shaped gate tower is decorated with depictions of Hindu gods sculpted by artisans from southern India.

Medan Pasar

Medan Pasar (also known as Old Market Square in English) is a public square. It was originally a market and was one of the earliest market in Kuala Lumpur built by Ye Yalai, the pioneer of Kuala Lumpur. One of the first sites to be developed. Before the independence of Malaysia, this place has always been a lively commercial market square. After a hundred years, the traces of the old market have disappeared and brought in, but the three-storey century-old buildings left over from the British colonial period on both sides of the square are still there to witness the elegance of that year. It has now become the main bus transfer station as well as a tourist attraction in the Kuala Lumpur. In the centre of the square is the Clock Tower built in Art Deco style. Designed by Arthur Oakley Coltman, the tower was built to commemorate the coronation of George VI in 1937. The memorial plaques mentioning the English king were removed after Malaysia's independence.
