KLCC Malaysia
Oct 25th, 2005 by Neo
KLCC which stands for Kuala Lumpur City Center, is also know as the Petronas Twin Towers. At 88 stories and a height of 452m (1483 feet), it was the tallest building in the world at the date of its completion. However, it is now proudly the 2nd and the 3rd tallest building in the world, merely behind the new record holder Taipei 101. Petronas Twin Towers of course still hold the world’s tallest twin towers title despite Taipei 101 holds the world’s tallest title.
Petronas Twin Towers is part of a 100-acre development that includes a shopping center, called Suria KLCC and a world-class park. It is now Malaysia’s largest tourist attraction.

The world-class park was designed by the famous Brazilian landscape artist, the late Roberto Burle Marx. The park boasts a two-acre children’s playground consisting of colorful child safe equipment that is placed under large shade trees. There is also a wading pool for children to cool off in. For those looking to exercise try the jogging track. If this is all too much then just enjoy a stroll along the side of the jewel of the park the magnificent lake and fountains. Back inside Suria there are a few galleries, the Petronas Art Gallery and the Petro-sains gallery which is always a hit with kids of all ages.
World class building and world class shopping center. I will post more photos in the Gallery when time permits.
