- Beautiful and quiet amongst the metropolis
Monday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Parks

Kuala Lumpur is a large busy city, so finding a quiet space in the middle of the city to wind down is essential. KLCC Park delivers on being a well-managed, clean and quiet park in a central location. Right underneath the Petronas Towers and next to the Suria KLCC mall, the park is great for a stroll (or run). There are several features to the park, the main ones being the water features which are really nice. See more..

4.5 Putra Mosque (1.088 reviews)
- Amazing architecture
Religious Sites

The Putra Mosque is the main mosque of Putrajaya. The building is adjacent to the entrance of Seri Perdana, and both are so pretty, they look like a couple. The architecture of this building is an eclectic mix of various islamic styles. I could identify Moorish, Ottoman, Mamluk and elements of Malay. The latter especially in the minaret. The building is decorated in a distinctive colour of pink, with the various domes in a deeper shade of pink than the rest of the building. It looks pretty up close, but even better from afar, especially on Putra Bridge, where you can see the back of the building and all the different sized domes. Visitors are welcome to enter the mosque at specific times. I’m guessing it’s outside prayer hours. The mosque advertises the visiting hours. I do think it’s worth seeing the interiors, the main prayer hall has some fantastic Moorish architectural features. Amazing architecture. See more..

4.5 Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin (Masjid Besi) (173 reviews)
- Beautiful Architecture, Good Air Circulation
Religious Sites

Also known as Iron Mosque (Masjid Besi), it is second largest mosque in Putrajaya after Putra Mosque. The parking is easy and spacious. The open prayer hall concept a bit uncomfortable for ladies thus the men could see the ladies performing their prayers. It is also not a user friendly mosque. The ablution areas is at the downstairs and quite far from the main prayer hall, for the elderly people is difficult for them to walk and the escalator seldom working. See more..

- Shopping, eating and entertaining
Monday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Shopping Malls

Bukit Bintang is probably one of two of the most touristy spots in Kuala Lumpur for it’s concentration of hotels, shopping, architecture and entertainment. Some of the shopping is pretty upscale, but there’s plenty that’s reasonably priced, especially if you head to the nearby Jalan Alor which has more street hawkers. Some of the more interesting buildings include Starhill Gallery, but I enjoy visiting for the eclectic mix of modernity and pre-war buildings too. Can go wrong here if you want to shop, eat or be entertained. See more..
