Dantruong Travel & Tourism

In the brochure about the city of Kuala Lumpur, Masjid Negara always mentioned as one of the attractive destination for tourists, especially for tourists from the Middle East or country that many adherents of Islam, such as Indonesia.

Based on information from the brochure I was off to Masjid Negara. Arriving at the State Mosque, I was getting ready to admire the architecture or grandeur, but what power, I see it as ordinary mosque, I can even say this State Mosque and the magnificent big defeat when compared to such Istiqlal mosque in Jakarta or even a mosque Son in Putrajaya.

Curious, then when he got home I ‘google’ this State Mosque, with the hope to find a story interesting history of the State Mosque, but the data I get from googling is not so attractive, such that the mosque was founded in 1965, and that the mosque It can accommodate about 15,000 people, that’s it!

Then my eyes wander far down the road a mosque where several tourist bus close to the road and down hundreds of Arab tourists. They seem eager to make movies and picture-ria photos with the background there is also a mosque and many of those who tried to pray inside. Once again I am impressed with tourism in Malaysia, the mosque was mediocre as the State Mosque could be one of tourism object if the well though. In fact they also have a special schedule a special visit to the mosque to non-Muslims!

At the end of a hot day, I finally found something interesting also from this mosque, which is a warning sign written large that reads’ Beware of Thieves sandals! ” or watchful thief shoes. Not proved much different from the Indonesia behavior! Only if in Indonesia is still in sandals , here seems a little prestige, sandals or shoes that diincer!

To go here you use Putra LRT train and stop at Pasar Seni station, from there you can walk, but quite a lot! If you come here you can all the old railway station at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, just opposite the State Mosque.

Zoo Negara Malaysia is a zoo located in the state of Selangor, about 13 km from downtown Kuala Lumpur. The zoo area and 110 are in the open since the year 1963 holds approximately 5137 animals from 449 species, including mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and amphibians. The question is, interestingly enough or worth it if go there? My short answer, no.

I think Ragunan zoo in Jakarta is much better and bigger than the State Zoo in Kuala Lumpur, especially when compared to the Singapore Zoo, enggak nothing deh. I think the place is less manicured and animals look a little less happy and weary-weary. I hope the government here to immediately upgrade Zoo this country, ashamed of the garden is the star who brought the name of the country of Malaysia only look like this.

If you insist on going here, too, the State Zoo open daily from 9 am until 5 pm today. Entry fee for adults is RM 15, the children (3 s / d 12 thn) RM 6, and for people aged over 60 years RM 6. To go to the State Zoo, you can use the Putra LRT train and stopped at the Wangsa Maju station, from the station you can take a taxi or bus.

In Kuala Lumpur we can still find some of the British colonial heritage buildings are still intact, one of them is the railway station (old kuala lumpur railway station) is located at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin this. The station was founded in 1910 by an English architect named Arthur Benison Hubback.

He also designed several ancient buildings in Kuala Lumpur such as the Sultan Abdul Samad building and the Masjid Jamek. Design architect he makes always refers to Moorish architecture style, a genre of popular Islamic architecture in North Africa, Spain and Portugal in the year 711 s / d 1492. If you’ve been to these countries you will certainly feel the deja vu when seeing the buildings architectural value in Kuala Lumpur, especially in Putrajaya.

Since 2001 the main function of the train station was finally replaced by the Kuala Lumpur Sentral station to the more modern and compact. Now there is only one train, the KTM Commuter is still using this station. There’s also a railway museum, you can see it for free, but because the quiet visitors in the museum finally leave untreated. Just across the street from the building you will find a beautiful building architecture as well, which is building the railway company owned the land wither Berhad.

At the station there is an old hotel called The Heritage Station Hotel. You want to try stay there? Please check room rates on his website. To go to here you should use a taxi, tell the taxi driver to go to the old railway station at Jalan Hishamuddin.
