A holiday in Kuala Lumpur, a modern metropolis and capital of Malaysia, reveals a place where colonial influences, Asian traditions, and modern aesthetics come together in urban architecture and street layout.

On the 16th (Sat), Head underground at Batu Caves, then head outdoors with Dark Cave Malaysia, then take in the spiritual surroundings of Jamek Mosque, and finally take in the spiritual surroundings of National Mosque (Masjid Negara).
