The skyscrapers tower above the earth as clouds glide past them. Many meters below, the people scurry about, minding their own business, oblivious of the marvel that is the architecture of their home city. In any case, they’ve had years to get accustomed to the level of development that has swept across their country. Still, Malaysia has preserved its culture. It’s a culture where the people naturally bear a genial spirit. It’s a culture that’s rich and diverse, one can’t help but wonder at how it’s stood up against rapid modern development.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, is a city that has witnessed this upsurge of growth over the past decades. This growth, however, hasn’t tainted the beauty of the glorious city, it’s complemented it. This is why Kuala Lumpur is a global tourist favorite.
