A phenomenal city in terms of a variety of architectural styles, shopping malls, green parks, historical landmarks and magnificent panoramic views, this is Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia and concurrently one of the largest metropolitan areas in Southeast Asia. The majority of travelers in that direction consider the city only as a place of a forced air stop, but full-fledged tours to Kuala Lumpur may turn out to be much more interesting than transit passengers imagined.
History with geography
The history of Kuala Lumpur began in 1857, when the city was founded by the British colonialists as a staging post for the tin mines. It is located in the valley of two rivers in the southwest of the Malacca Peninsula. For almost a century, Kuala Lumpur was the administrative center of the Selangor province of Malaysia, and in 1983 the city was officially proclaimed the capital of the country.
A multi-ethnic population is another sign that you are on a tour in Kuala Lumpur. On the streets here you can meet Chinese and Bengalis, Malays and Tamils and many other peoples inhabiting the countries of this region.
