Kuala Lumpur (nicknamed “KL”) is Malaysia’s largest city and capital. KL has jolted from its rural beginnings into a bustling and booming cosmopolitan city in just a matter of decades, which is part of what makes this destination so attractive. The city still retains its quaint historical charm and is an excellent destination for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of Malaysian culture. In order to get an idea of what Kuala Lumpur is like today, you need not go further than its name, which literally means “muddy confluence”; in many ways, the city is a combination of old and new. Therefore, you might see old Chinese houses and colonial mansions standing next to gleaming steel towers. Perhaps it is this natural confluence of people that has made the city so ethnically diverse and accepting-and its prospects so enticing.
