what's going on everybody this is Island Hopper coming to you from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia let's do it that's right everybody we're coming to you from KL which means Kuala Lumpur we're going to show you the top things to do and there will be time stamps Below in the description so you can go around from location to location throughout the video alright so as you can see we're in front of the Patronus Towers here we're going to try and go up to the top walking around the bottom of the
Petronas Towers is free but if you want to go up to the top like we're going to it is 22 US dollars or around 95 Malaysian Ringgits that's the currency they use here and here we are at the bridge this is called the Skywalk the sky bridge is the highest two-story bridge in the world connecting the two Twin Towers and they stop here at the sky Bridge with every ticket which is actually level 41 and 42. so after you stop here then you get back in the elevator and you head all the way up to the top [Music] foreign so you go from Level 42 all the way up to level 86 and here you are at the top of the Petronas Towers which at one point in time were the tallest Towers in the world until Burj Khalifa came along nowadays these towers are the third largest in Kuala Lumpur because the Merdeka 118 building is now going to be the tallest standing at 2227 feet that's 118 floors to be completed here in 2023 and another thing to do nearby the Petronas Towers is the
KLCC Fountain which is basically a smaller
version of what you would see at Burj Khalifa in Dubai every evening around 7 PM they do a KLCC
fountain show and then they do every half hour until 10 pm and this park that we're walking around here
is called KLCC right next to the Patronus Towers so the three things to do here
KLCC Park Fountain and the
Petronas Towers that's three things to do
while you're here in case you're wondering what KLCC means it's Kuala
Lumpur City Center so the park itself
sits on 50 acres it has a garden and a lake with a wide variety of Flora and
Fauna you can just walk around hang out
the Park is open from 7 A.M to 10 p.m and admission is free so that's a good thing there's also a children's
playground a public swimming pool and a wading
pool for children and as we continue to show you around Kuala Lumpur
here I want to let you guys know that we
did launch a travel Master Class if you sign up as a channel member you get
access to that become an island Hopper
and that's what comes with it there is over 10 courses talking about what you can do to start traveling
internationally all the things that you should consider and here we are at pedaling Street Market
this is
Chinatown let's go look
and here we are at Chinatown now
something you may not know is Kuala Lumpur is actually a newer city it was
founded in 1857 by 87 Chinese tin miners
it could be said that the founders of Kuala Lumpur were mostly Chinese but here in Chinatown you will find
the largest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur as well as walk around pedaling Street Market they're
going to have food stalls as well as goods and clothing so if you want to do some shopping for
electronics and other souvenirs head down here to Chinatown it's definitely a must-see while here try the
hainese chicken rice a must try while in Chinatown right guys we have made it to
Batu Caves out here in
Batu yeah this impressive cave system was
originally established by Chinese farmers who were actually extracting
the bat guano from out of here for
fertilizing vegetable patches in the 1860s but then a Hindu man discovered this
place and said it was a sacred area so
they made a temple here and that's why you see this now Hindu temple with this big statue and colorful stairs that you
walk up to where the actual cave is now while you're walking up you're going to see a lot of
monkeys the monkeys may try to steal your water bottle or even take your backpack from you your camera they
are known to be a bit of uh interesting characters
try not to touch them or let them touch you I should say but yeah once you get
to the top you're inside the cave and
you will see just how impressive it is up here in these Limestone caves one thing I will say is going up those stairs
can be a bit intense so make sure you're ready
for that because in Kuala Lumpur it can get very hot pretty much year
round one of the reasons why this Hindu
temple is here is because Malaysia has many Indian descendants who've actually
settled here and as we continue walking
around here at the
Caves villa which is right
next door to the actual caves Temple up
top you can see very nice place but I want to continue to give you some insight into the demographics of Kuala
Lumpur so there is a large population of Chinese a large population of Indians but the largest
population is actually going to be the native melee people and the native melee people are Islamic and
the official religion of Malaysia is Islam but you can still see other religions are still
respected here as you can see with this Hindu temple here at the Batu Caves now it is very colorful and
they have allowed them to paint the inside of the caves good old soup now let's
talk about the food
