What I love about Kuala Lumpur, other than its cultural diversity, is its skyline at night. I had the opportunity to see the two faces of the city: the bustling daytime when people rush to work to their towering offices and still the bustling night life when the lights of the same towering offices guide them back home.
My first day at Kuala Lumpur was spent strolling around Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) and a dinner at Chinatown. The second one was for hopping around town while admiring the contrast of the blinding lights and intimidating heights of the city with the dark, serene night sky.
The day rises…
Man-made lake at KLCC
Another view of the man-made lake at KLCC
Fountains at KLCC
Wading Pool (It gets really hot during midday and dipping your tired feet in this public pool is a great relief.)
Buildings around KLCC
And more buildings (I think I got a stiff neck!)
The Kuala Lumpur Convention Center where the Aquaria is located.
The Central Market at KL Sentral is a popular market for souvenirs.
The KL Tower housing a communication system and a revolving restaurant. It is a good alternative to the Petronas Twin Towers' skybridge when you want a panoramic view of the city.
And the night unfolds…

The Merdaka Square changes its light from red to green to yellow to blue every few seconds.
The clock tower of the Merdaka Square where the first Malay flag was hoisted in 1957.
Menara Public Bank
Masjid Jamek mosque
From sunrise ’til sunset, Kuala Lumpur is undoubtedly a feast for the eyes. I simply love KL! How about you? Which face of KL do you prefer?

What a contrast between day and night. Kuala Lumpur looks like a very interesting city.
It is interesting and it is also culturally diverse, in my opinion.
