Malaysia's capital, Kuala Lumpur (KL) is the second most active city in Southeast Asia with many ethnic groups: Chinese, Malay, Indian, Malay, Thai, Indonesian, The Sikh and the large community of expatriate expatriates.
A little history of the city
KL was a British colony for 100 years, from 1857 to 1957. In Malay, KL means a confluence of muddy rivers, probably part of a city founded in 1857 at the confluence of the Gombak River and River Klang. At that time, the Klang Valley was still jungle, and a Selangor royal family (Raja Abdullah) opened the area, allowing 87 Chinese to exploit tin.
Thanks to the prosperity of the tin mine that traders have come here to build shops, gradually the city was born. After the constant civil war and ups and downs of the city, KL was chosen as the capital when Swettenham was in office in 1896. During World War II, Japan occupied for 44 months.
The city officially became independent in 1957. Since then, KL has gradually developed, transforming itself into a center of finance, insurance, media and art not only of Malaysia but also in Southeast Asia.
Points to "visit" when visiting KL
The most known symbol of KL is the Petronas Towers, which is the tallest twin tower in the world, next to one of Malaysia's busiest shopping malls - Suria KLCC. However, this is not the only attraction in KL.
