Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur rewards walkers with its extraordinary cultural diversity. The Petronas Twin Towers and KLCC Park anchor the modern city center, while just blocks away the colonial heart around Merdeka Square preserves Moorish-style government buildings and the beautiful Sultan Abdul Samad Building. Chinatown's Petaling Street bustles with market stalls, traditional Chinese temples, and the stunning Sri Mahamariamman Hindu Temple. Little India in Brickfields explodes with color, spice shops, and sari merchants. The Central Market, a 1930s Art Deco building, houses Malaysian crafts and food stalls under one roof. Kampung Baru, a traditional Malay village in the city's heart, offers a glimpse of wooden stilt houses and neighborhood mosques surrounded by skyscrapers. The Batu Caves, with their 272 rainbow-colored steps and massive golden statue, are a short train ride away.
