Holidays in Kuala Lumpur offer a fascinating insight into a modern and wealthy Asian city. Kuala Lumpur - or KL as those in the know call it - has a mixture of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures and this is evident almost everywhere in the city. Holidays to Kuala Lumpur are perfect for city lovers looking to learn about the rich history that has lead to such a culture mix. The city has some great sights to visit. Take a trip up the Petronas Towers, once the tallest towers in the world and a symbol of Malaysia’s industrialisation. In Chinatown, Jalan Petaling is a busy night market with amazing stalls offering everything from designer watches to local handicrafts. When you want to be more tranquil, you can visit the more stylish business districts of the Golden Triangle and Bangsar.
