Malaysia Attractions
Tourism in Malaysia is
economically important and is growing rapidly. The World Travel & Tourism
Council calculated that tourism generated 6.4 trillion or 6.6% of the
nation's GDP in 2012. It supported 39.5 million jobs, 7.7% of its total
employment.
The Ministry of Tourism designs
national policies for the development and promotion of tourism. Concerted
efforts are being made to promote new forms of tourism such as rural,
cruise, medical and eco-tourism. The Ministry also maintains the Malaysia -
Truly Asia campaign.
Petronas Twin Tower
The Petronas Twin Towers are
the highest skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur. In fact, The Twin Towers were
the tallest buildings in the world from the year 1998 to 2004 until the
Taipei 101 came along.
The base of the Towers is the Suria KLCC. This
1,500,000 sq ft shopping haven is the place where you can shop for
luxury goods and designer labels. In the KLCC are also an art gallery,
the Aquaria KLCC (the underwater world),
a philharmonic theater and the Petrosains Center. To find the Petronas
Twin Towers, you just need to get to KLCC.
The Petronas Twin Towers
stands tall at 88 floors high. One major attraction of the Towers is the
Twin Towers Skybridge between the two towers at the 41st and 42nd floor.
The Skybridge has also made a mark in the record books for being the
highest 2-storey
bridge in the world. The unique fact about this bridge is that it is not attached to the main structure but instead, it is designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent any breakage. It also functions to provide some support to the structure of the Towers when winds are strong. The Skybridge is by far the most anticipated feature of the Towers as the view from the bridge is simply breath-taking. The admission to the bridge is free of charge but visitors are required to get a pass which is issued on a limited number each day. There is no surprise if you see a long queue as early as 7.00 am in the morning just to get the pass. Other attraction at the Towers involves spending a lot of money because Suria KLCC has a wide range of goods from all over the world.
You can shop still you drop
or you can shop till your legs say stop. A piece of advice,
do not wear heels. Shopping at Suria KLCC may cause you some muscle aches. Other than the myriads of shops selling luxury goods, Suria KLCC restaurants are also plentiful. You can choose from high end restaurants to the food court there. Getting There
You can get to the Petronas
Twin Towers either by foot or by taxi if you're in city center.
The Towers are located between Jalan Raja Chulan and Jalan Ampang, You can walk to the Towers if you have opted to stay at hotel nearby. However, if you did not stay nearby, the cheaper means of public transportation will be via the LRT. All you need to do is to get on to Kelana Jaya LRT line which moving toward KLCC station. |
