Introduction
Kuala Lumpur, a city covering 243.6 sq km. with a population
of 1.3 million people, is situated on the west coast of Peninsular
Malaysia, just about midway between north and south and approximately
35 kilometers from the coast. The days are generally hot and humid
but the nights are pleasantly cooler, while the average annual rainfall
is about 220mm.
Kuala Lumpur, which is also the capital of Malaysia, function as the center of Malaysia's political, commercial and social life. It is
a city of delightful contrast - a combination of modern cosmopolitan, sophistication and lingering old world charm; a juxtaposition of gracious
colonial edifices, pre-war shop houses and gleaming copper domed roofs against a backdrop of towering skyscrapers. Narrow streets of quaint
old shop houses open out to wide-open tree-lined avenues. The favorable climate accounts for the lush greenery and profusion of tropical blooms
in a riot of colors - a truly fitting background for its happy mix of multi-racial populace of Malays, Chinese, Indians and other races.
The end result is unique blend of age-old customs and traditions: colorful festivals, songs and dances and a rich variety of foods to
tempt the palate. Experience the multi-faceted fascinations of Malaysia - right here in Kuala Lumpur. |
