... Great aerial view of Kuala Lumpur city skyline... a mixture of old and new... the capital of Malaysia has grown from a tin-mining settlement to the present cosmopolitan and modern city of impressive and inspiring high-rise buildings and towers... with the national icon and most famous landmark the Petronas Towers twin buildings... the financial centre of the country... the top attractions of the city includes historic monuments and buildings, futuristic and modern skyscrapers... colorful mosques... shrines and temples, green and lush parks and jungle areas... huge shopping malls, bustling street markets and a lively nightlife of cool pubs and bars... Thanks Sam!【ツ】
Kuala Lumpur located in the Klang valley was founded in 1857 by a group of Chinese tin miners at the swampy confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers. In Malay, the name literally means "muddy confluence" or "muddy estuary," reflecting the difficult, jungle-heavy terrain the prospectors first settled in. In 1880 Kuala Lumpur superseded Klang (now Kelang) as the state capital; it went on to become the capital of the independent Federation of Malaya in 1957 and of Malaysia in 1963.
