However, it is also a city with a rich multicultural heritage and numerous festivals each year.

Petronas Twin Tower and the idea

- The historic heart of Kuala Lumpur is Padang Merdeka

(Independence Square), at Padang Merdeka some colonial style houses still stand. To the south-east lies Chinatown, with its bustling markets.

The modern center of Kuala Lumpur now its the area around the Petronas Twin Tower.

North of Padang Merdeka are the Little India and Chow Kit districts. The modern Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) towards the east is the business

area, and is centered on the awesome 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers, the tallest twin structures in the world, which make a handy landmark.

Malaysia Airlines could be the right carrier for your Kuala Lumpur travel, but most of the time their booking computer wont work, so how to book ? MAS flies nonstop from many cities to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), around 50km south of the city at Sepang. Many other airlines offer connecting flights' Emirates www.emirates.com links Europe with Kuala Lumpur via Dubai. Here are links with Myanmar Yangon.

The 30-minute KLIA Ekspres train journey from the airport to KL Sentral railway station costs RM35. Once here take a Light Rail Transit (LRT) train into the city centre -a one-way fare costs RM1.60. Alternatively, the KLIA Ekspres "VIP Service", costing RM100, includes the train fare, porter service and limousine from KL Sentral to anywhere in the city.

The Malaysian Tourist Information Center is at 109 Jalan Ampang (00 60 3 2164 3929' www.tourism. gov.my). It opens daily 9am-6pm. South of KLCC, heading down Jalan Sultan Ismail, the major shopping and entertainment area known as the Golden Triangle is packed with bars, clubs and giant malls.

- Cheap hotels in Kuala Lumpur

are most of the times only cheap in terms of the price but not in terms what you get. There is only one common parameter with cheap Kuala Lumpur hotels and this is, they have no foreign news TV channel, actually that’s the same also in Singapore and there are no lavish restaurants, bars and spa’s. All other at cheap Kuala Lumpur hotels is just more or less the same as in any other hotel. These cheap Kuala Lumpur hotels are good and offer what is necessary.

Finding a cheap hotel in Kuala Lumpur is easy and most of the time rooms are available, very rare is that the hotel reception tells you, ..we are fully booked.

The monorail passes Chinatown and the Maharadjalela Station is just about 10 minutes walking away close to the most beautiful and exotic Chinese temple in this part of the city.

A Internet café is also about 5 minutes away, so is the overland bus station where buses for Thailand, Singapore and almost any

To go to China Town just take the Kuala Lumpur Monorail, the elevated rail just stops at the edge of Kuala Lumpur's China Town almost in front of a beautiful and exotic Chinese Temple. Chinatown's people went to many racial struggles and there was a continues increase in the Chinese population over centuries and especially during British colonial times. One can find historical marks of this time almost everywhere. But to be honest Penang's China Town at Georgetown Malaysia is even more attractive.

Located in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown are plenty of restaurants, stores, malls, mostly along the main axis which is Petaling Street.
