Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia / Kuala Lumpur /
 city, capital city of state/province/region, invisible, first-level administrative division, capital city of country
It is the capital and the largest city of Malaysia. One of the three Malaysian Federal Territories, it is an enclave within the state of Selangor, on the central west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Within Malaysia, the city is commonly referred to as KL.

Its area is 243 square kilometres, and the centre of international commerce and finance. It is situated about midway along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It derived its name from the point where the Klang and Gombak rivers meet. Formerly a mining town, Kuala Lumpur became the administrative centre of the Federated Malay States in 1896. When Malaya achieved independence in 1957, Kuala Lumpur was declared the capital. It was declared a city in 1972, and on 1st February 1974, Kuala Lumpur separated from Selangor to form the Federal Territory.
Two landmarks that stand out in the city are the Kuala Lumpur Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. The KL Tower (421 metres) was built as a telecommunications tower and has an observation deck from which you can enjoy a good view of the city. The 88-storey Twin Towers(452 metres) is the pride of the nation. A skybridge at levels 41 and 42 links the two towers.
