OVERVIEW
Kuala Lumpur is a large metropolitan capital in Malaysia, where modern towers, colonial civic buildings and dense residential districts spread across a humid valley. Mosques, temples and markets reflect the city’s diverse communities. The wider destination extends from markets towards mosques, with local communities occupying the ground between them, with residential districts providing an additional point of connection.
Food is central, from hawker stalls to contemporary restaurants across distinct neighbourhoods. Traffic and distance can be demanding, but rail connections make the main districts relatively easy to combine. The relationship between temples and mosques becomes clearest when the destination is explored over more than one area. Routes between mosques and markets show how the destination changes beyond its principal attractions.
