Parks and Interesting Places
The Lake Garden Area is very peaceful and beautiful. The Parliament House overlooks it. One can find the Bird Park, the Hibiscus Garden, the Butterfly Park and the Deer Park and also find an Islamic Arts Museum within. The Railway station is definitely something very unique to set your eyes on with its Moorish and Edwardian architectural styles and has a Malaysian twist to the design. The Colonial part of the city will be well worth a visit. Make sure to see the Supreme Court or the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, which is very Moorish and elongated and salmon coloured. This is the place where more photographs are taken than anywhere else in Kuala Lumpur and its here beside the clock tower that most local celebrate that annual National Parade. Over the roadway is the Dataran Merdeka, or what is also known as Independence Square with its lovely water fountain, the flower beds as well as an underground epicurean and entertainment centre. Watch out for the Selangor Club which was the main communal centre for the colonial society back then, as well as the Cathedral of Virgin St. Mary which is the patriarchal Anglican church in Malaysia and these buildings give one an insight into the colonists way of life at the start of the century. Jamek Mosque is the patriarchal Mosque in Malaysia and is right behind the SAS building and is well worth a visit.
