A Visit to the Petronas Twin Tower in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
On the eve of Christmas of 2009, I visited the capital city of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur. I specially wished to visit the most impressive architecture which was almost recognizable from anywhere in the city, the Petronas Twin Tower.
Petronas is Malaysia's national oil company. At the base of the tower is an opera house attached to a chic and sophisticated shopping mall complete with cineplex known as 'Suria KLCC'. Each tower consists of 88 floors and somewhere in the middle on the 41st and 42nd floor levels it is connected by a Skybridge which is open for all visitors for free viewing of the city's skyline. But admission to the Sybridge only allows 1700 visitors per day so tendency is you have to wake up really early to get to the ticket counter to obtain the free admission tickets. The ticket counter opens at 8:30 a.m. and it's a first-come-first-served basis so it's always advisable that you go there early before all tickets are snapped out.
The viewing on the Skybridge only allows 10 minutes so better grab that camera and take as many pictures as possible.
The twin tower is just magnificently beautiful especially if you are standing just right beneath it and then you look up... and the next thing is you're lost for words...You will just be awed by its beautifully designed glass pagodas that you will feel an instant excitement to find the best spot to take the best picture of that whole twin tower immedately.
Here are some memorable photos:
