#traveldiaries Standing tall in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks. Built in 1897 during the British colonial period, this stunning structure is a blend of Moorish, Indo-Saracenic, and Gothic architectural styles. Its striking copper domes, arched windows, and 41-meter-high clock tower make it one of the most photographed buildings in the city. Located along Jalan Raja, the building originally housed British administrative offices and is now home to Malaysia's Ministry of Communications and Multimedia, as well as the Ministry of Tourism and Culture. While it no longer serves its original purpose, its grandeur remains intact, symbolizing Malaysia's rich history and cultural diversity. Walking up to the building, you can’t help but admire the intricate craftsmanship, from the red-bricked facade to the curved arcades. It’s particularly breathtaking during the day, when the sunlight bounces off its copper domes, and at night, when it’s beautifully illuminated against the backdrop of Kuala Lumpur's skyline. Adjacent to Dataran Merdeka, the building is at the center of Malaysia’s historical significance. It’s where the Union Jack was lowered, and the Malaysian flag was raised for the first time on August 31, 1957, marking the country’s independence. The Sultan Abdul Samad Building remains a must-visit for anyone interested in Malaysia’s history or those simply looking to marvel at its architectural beauty. **#SultanAbdulSamadBuilding #KualaLumpur #HistoricLandmark #ColonialArchitecture #MalaysiaHistory #CopperDomes #DataranMerdeka #MustVisitKL #ArchitecturalBeauty

24 hours was not enough time to see it all! As someone who loves to travel by foot and see the sights around me, I walked to many of my destinations. The plan was to start off with breakfast at #jalanalor . As beautiful as the street was, I went at a time where there were not many stores open and I wasn’t able to try any of the good food it was said to have. This meant I had to settle for a cafe brunch, which was surprisingly good! #TheRabbitHole offered a typical Western cafe breakfast, but was S E D A P and the coffee hit the right spot. I then headed to the #KLObservatoryDeck , which offered a view that seemed pretty basic for a city. I would have loved it there as a kid, seeing that all the binoculars stands were free of charge and I could spend a lot of time looking through them and watching the people as they walked on the streets (just beware, there is a full view into hotel rooms 🫣 hopefully no one see what shouldn’t be seen) After spending a good amount of time there, I headed down and walked ~30 minutes to the #petronastwintowers and it was quite the walk. There, I explored the mall and took many photos from the different angles. It gave me a rest from walking out in the hot sun, but as an average traveller, there was not much shopping to enjoy from the mall as it was mostly branded and expensive items. Taking the train was so convenient, it brought me to Masjid Jamek, just a ~10 minute walk from the #merdekasquare . I passed by the #MedanPasarClockTower and #riveroflife before arriving at my main attraction, the #merdekasquare overlooking the #SultanAbdulSamadBuilding which beauty had caught my eye. Call me crazy but that’s when I embarked on my other ~30 minute walk down to #tugunegara , a war memorial site, and explored the beauty of KL’s botanical gardens 🌻! At this point, my phone was on its last breath, so I headed back to my lodging until it was time for dinner. Maybe because it was a weekday, I wasn’t able to find much food at #PetalingStreetMarket , just lots and lots of shopping. Sadly, I’m not much of a shopping girlie, so I just went for a quick bite, then headed off to my last location of the day, #CentralMarketKL . It was filled with many things to buy, ranging from clothes, to food, to groceries. It was an enjoyable walk I must say, and a good end to the day. Let me know what else I could have and should have done to enjoy my walking escapade in KL!
