If you have been a frequent visitor to Malaysia, you must have already hit all the tourist spots. But there are hidden gems around this city that the locals don’t want you to find. Fortunately for you, that is where this list comes in, listing some of these hidden gems below for you to explore.
After spending the night at a property such as Travelodge City Centre, you can begin your day by visiting the Rumah Penghulu, which is an embodiment of traditional Malay architecture. Having been constructed in the early 1900s, this property is regarded as one of the oldest homes in Malaysia. This aesthetically pleasing wooden house is truly a hidden gem, as it can be found in the heart of the city amidst sprawling skyscrapers.
Have you ever wondered what a house would look like if everything was topsy-turvy? If you spend a few days in Kuala Lumpur, you can easily find the answer to this question by visiting the upside-down house. This quirky, two-storeyed English cottage, with its upside-down rooms, provides ample opportunities for those interested in taking unique photos for their social media. The upside-down house is a popular tourist destination in Kuala Lumpur, attracting visitors from all over the world. The house is built in such a way that everything appears to be flipped, including the furniture, fixtures, and appliances. The house also has a garden outside, which is also designed to look like it's upside down.
Kuala Lumpur is known for its modern architecture and its array of shopping malls, which is why tourists often look for hotels in Kuala Lumpur City Centre. But did you know that there is a flourishing forest reserve in the middle of this concrete jungle? With a canopy walk located in the middle of this rainforest, you can take a break from shopping and get some fresh air by going out for an afternoon stroll in this forest park. The KL Eco Forest Park covers an area of 9.37 hectares and is located right in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It is a perfect place for nature lovers to explore the lush greenery and diverse wildlife of the region. The park offers a unique opportunity to experience a natural environment in the middle of a bustling metropolis. The canopy walk allows visitors to walk above the treetops and enjoy panoramic views of the city skyline.
This one-of-a-kind miniature exhibition pays homage to the magnificent cultural heritage that makes up Malaysia. Situated inside the conveniently located Sungei Wang Plaza in Bukit Bintang, this space has been divided into various zones containing miniature dioramas to showcase the iconic landmarks of Malaysia. While each model, whether buildings, people, wildlife or vehicles, has been built on the 1/87 scale, the attention to detail of each figure is astounding and something that one cannot miss when visiting the city.
While Kuala Lumpur is renowned for its rooftop bars just like it is known for its shopping opportunities, there are several speakeasy bars located around the city that can add a spark to any night out. Drawing inspiration from the prohibition period in the USA, where the sale of alcohol was prohibited, these bars are hidden behind inconspicuous locations and doors.
