What’s up my lovely backpackers? Still craving for more adventure?Well, as your captain, this time I’ll be taking you a tour to Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city is a home to people with different races, culture and religion.
When we talked about Kuala Lumpur, there’s a lot of places
that we can visit, but certainly we can’t leave
Petronas Twin Towers behind. Petronas Twin Towers is the eye of Kuala
Lumpur and the pride of the nation. This magnificent monument symbolising the vision
and growth of a nation. The twin towers measuring up to 58.4 metres in length
and standing tall at 170 metres above street level. These towers are supported
by a three-hinged arch located at level 29 of each tower. It plays huge role in
facilitating movement between the two towers. These towers have 88 levels. The
two towers are linked by the sky bridge at levels 41 and 42 and have an annexe
that reaches the 44th floor which attached to each tower. Its pinnacles house
the warning lights and external building maintenance equipment. Each pinnacle
is made up of a spire ring ball, a 23 segmented mast and a ring ball.
Sky bridge offers the exciting experience to its visitors.
Situated at level 41, standing tall at the high of 170 metres, visitors can see
the whole city that became the heart of the Malaysia. Visitors who walked along
this bridge will feel like they are walking in the sky and it is indeed a very
interesting experience.
Visitors also can have fun exploring the observation deck
located at level 86. What so great about this deck is visitors can enjoy the
breath taking view around the towers and free themselves far from the hustle
bustle of city’s life. Visitors also can discover the fascinating facts about
the twin towers displayed on the video wall, and the KL city and KLCC
development models at the observation deck. Visitors can experience the latest
