我愛 Kuala Lumpur - 行篇 Day 3

28/12/08

If you want to have a bird's eye view of Kuala Lumpur, where will you go? The first place that came to my mind is 雙峰塔。But we did not manage to go cos you need to go very early to get the free tickets. Waking up at 7am to queue for tickets is simply too much for us. 呵呵﹗So instead we went to Menara Kuala Lumpur 也就是人們俗稱的 KL Tower.

We took a metered taxi to KL Tower as it is not easy to reach there by bus, walking or train. The moment you get on to the taxi, it will cost you RM6. KL Tower is pretty near to my hotel. We only took about 10 mins to reach there and costs us RM11.60.

There is a package that throws in a winter park entrance fee, a mini zoo entrance fee and a F1 simulator entrance fee in additional to the KL Tower entrance fee. There is a free bottle water in a shape of KL Tower too!

Taking a lift up to the viewing gallery which is 250m is very fast. I think we reach in less than 15 sec. When you are on top, 吉隆坡風景盡收眼底﹗


After the breathtaking views, we went to the winter park and the mini zoo. The zoo has many types of snakes and spiders. But I find one of the animals very interesting. It looks cute and out of this world. But I do not know what it is. I think it is one of the fox family.


Then, we took a cab to Berjaya Times Square for lunch and shopping. Buying a few items and some coffee later, we took a RM10 cab to Petaling Street 茨廠街。This is supposed to be KL 唐人街This place sells many 冒牌貨。LV, Gucci, etc.. You name it, they have it. But 這些“名牌”包包 are also not cheap. Asking price is about RM200. So remember to 殺價 for at least 50% of the asking price.


Finally, we settle our dinner here at some rather famous restaurant before 打倒回府。
