Day 60 March 06 2015 ~ Port Klang Kuala Lumpur Malaysia

K.L.as we call it for short. Has been transformed over the last few decades into a thriving metropolis. The landscape is kinda a blend of modernity and traditional charm where hawker stalls and pre war shop houses compete alongside skyscrapers and sophisticated buildings. Today we visited a striking 6 tiered temple called Thean Hou Temple. It is one if the biggest Chinese temples in Southeast Asia. (See picture)
Then we were off to the National Museum which showcased 4 main galleries such as Early History, The Malay Kingdom, The Colonial Era and of coarse The Malaysia today. We drove by the Parliament House and the Lake Garden and the National Monument. We also had the opportunity to see Independence Square where there is a 300 ft flag pole one of the highest in the world. Surrounding the square is the City Theater, the Cathedral of St Mary, the Vicortian Fountain, a Textile Museum, and the K.L.City Gallery.
After all that we went to a traditional restaurant which specialized in local food. Then we did the KL Tower which is the tallest communication tower in South East Asia. It offered panoramic views of the city. The tower is still used for communication purposes and it features a 1400 ft antenna. From the observation deck 900 ft above the ground you sure get 360* views.
Once we got back down to ground level we went to a central market which used to be a wet market. Today it is a handicraft, wood carvings,and souvenir market. We love markets as they are so colorful.
