Parks & Nature

As a forest, its nothing much. But just because of its location right smack in the centre of KL, it's worth a visit. Don't go alone coz it's often deserted. Also bring mosquito repellent!

Sightseeing

Where the rivers meet! Just south of the mosque, on the road "Leboh Pasar Besar" that crosses the Klang River, is the best place to take a photo of this place.

You have a better view here compared to the Twin Towers. The outdoor observation deck is the best. To the best of my knowledge (I haven't gone up for quite some time now) there is no time limit.
