There’s no scuba diving in Kuala Lumpur, but Malaysia’s capital city is worth a visit if you’re diving at the islands in Borneo or West Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur is commonly (and conveniently) known as KL.
On one hand, KL is a cosmopolitan city that’s gleaming with glitz and glamor. There are modern skyscrapers, huge shopping malls, and all the exquisite boulevards, nightclubs, and shopping districts that you might expect from a city stepped upon the world stage.
However, the culture of the old world is very much alive. You can see it in the family-run establishments, the street food, and the laid-back attitudes of the people who live here.
The joy of coming here for the first time is discovering the city’s graceful blend of the traditional and modern.
