Kuala Lumpur is the capital and the largest city in Malaysia with 1,746,600 inhabitants in 2021. The city is the country’s economic and cultural center as well as an important transport center for the interior of Malaysia. The new international airport there was opened in 1998, and there is a driverless metro between the airport and the city centre. Kuala Lumpur is a modern city characterized by the country’s economic growth. This development has led to the establishment of several different city centers and very tall buildings, such as the 450 meter high twin skyscraper «Petronas Twin Tower». This building has a footbridge 170 meters above ground that connects the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors. (Large Norwegian Lexicon: Google translated). We experienced Kuala Lumpur as a great city to which we would like to go back.

Kuala Lumpur er hovedstad og den største byen i Malaysia med sine 1 746 600 innbyggere i 2021. Byen er landets økonomiske og kulturelle sentrum samt et viktig samferdselssenter for det indre av Malaysa. Den nye internasjonale flyplassen der ble åpnet i 1998, og det går en førerløs metro mellom flyplassen og bysentret. Kuala Lumpur er en moderne by preget av landets økonomiske vekst. Denne utviklingen har ført til etablering av flere ulike bysentra og svært høye bygninger, som den 450 meter høye tvillingskyskraperen «Petronas Twin Tower». Dette byggverket har en gangbro på 170 meter over bakken som forbinder de to tårnene i 41. og 42. etasje. (Store Norske Leksikon). Vi opplevde Kuala Lumpur som en flott by som vi gjerne kan tenke oss å dra tilbake til.
