Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and the economical and cultural center. Best known are the PETRONAS twin towers, but there is also the Petaling market where you can lots and lots of branded, but not original bags, shirts, parfum, etc. Quite interesting is also the birdpark, where the birds have free entrance to the restaurant... And a real highlight are the Batu Caves with Hindu background!
