Dantruong Travel & Tourism

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. You can also use the Putra LRT and stop at Pasar Seni station, but from there you must walk quite far. If you come here you might as well to the State Mosque, just opposite the train station.
