Many assure what to do in Kuala Lumpur is absolutely nothing. Well, I do not agree, I do not agree. On my subjective look, Kay-EL (so-called Malaysians their capital) is very similar to Singapore. Only in a few cheap option. Here is mired, shopping centers are not so enchanting, but the skyscrapers are not so high. However, there is something to stand.
These towers can be seen from almost anywhere in the city.
For example, in the clock there is the world's largest park in the world (we nevertheless lowered this item), one of the highest speakers (we looked from the side), the unique caves of Batu, whose age consists of 400 million years (and here on them Did not regret the whole day). Here, as in Singapore, there is both chinatown, and Little India, and the Arab quarter, which we also proceeded along and across. Well, of course, in Kay-El, it is necessary to climb on the famous twin towers Petronas - the highest double towers in the world!
In the evenings in the old town, a show with national songs and dances are arranged. Free admission.
This 88-storey skyscraper with a height of 451.9 meters is not wonderful is considered a business card of the Malaysian capital. The buildings are built in Islamic style - on the plan the complex is two eight-pointed stars. It is known that today under the towers there is the largest concrete foundation in the world. The area of all rooms in the complex is about 214,000 square meters: so that it is more understandable and visibly, here's such a fact - 48 football fields could fit there.

It is not surprising that this place was chosen by filmmakers from around the world.

Here they were filmed by the film "Western" with Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones, a bunch of local film products, and also a fighter "Apocalypse Code" with our Anastasia Zavorotnyuk and French Venusan Peres. It is believed that Dublersh actresses made a jump from the bridge, which connects the towers between 41 and 42 floors at an altitude of 170 meters. But the trick was carried out somewhat unsuccessfully: the cascader clinched a parachute for the power line. The result is one of Kuala Lumpur streets left without light. Cascader did not suffer. But the main thing - the film turned out to be spectacular (at least, so they say those who were able to watch it to the end).

Our journey through Kay-EL succeeded at least fascinating. It costs without destruction, but impressions - several hundred photographs. Therefore, we agreed with my daughter, what else will be sure to come here somehow for the weekend.
