Kuala Lumpur has plenty to offer visitors and even long term residents can find plenty of new things to do and see. Affectionately known as KL, the city continues to prosper and grow. Modern buildings and overhead highways have transformed the skyline over the last twenty years but you can still wander around street stalls offering a wide range of attractively priced goods. If you want designer shops, modern shopping malls offer most major brand names and plenty of other products and services which can be enjoyed in air conditioned comfort.The city has seen hundreds of new restaurants open in recent years offering cuisines from around the world. For more details about these up market dining places, please check our dining website www.DineMalaysia.com. KL also has many “hawker stalls” offering excellent local cuisines at amazingly low prices.
