About
It is good to know from the beginning that Kuala Lumpur is not a “big” city, being able to walk lightly to all the points you want to see.If you think there is a suspended subway line (which you can use for only cheap experience), the city is yours.
The city began its existence at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers (Sungai lumpur), the name Kuala Lumpur meaning “the confluence of muddy waters”.The Jamek Mosque was erected in 1909 even at that intersection of waters, being one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia today.
