Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Join me on Facebook | Google+ | Twitter | 500px | Instagram ~~~~~~~~~ Kuala Lumpur (often abbreviated as K.L.), is the largest city of Malaysia. The city proper, making up an area of 244 km2 (94 sq mi), has an estimated population of 1.6 million in 2006. Greater Kuala Lumpur, also known as the Klang Valley, is an urban agglomeration of 7.2 million. It is the fastest growing metropolitan region in the country, in terms of population as well as economy. The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers or Twin Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia were the world's tallest buildings, before being surpassed by the Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings and office building in the world. Tower 1 was built by Hazama Corporation and Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering & Construction and Kukdong Engineering & Construction (both of South Korea). They were the world's tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 if measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural top. I admit that this is not the most original view of Kuala Lumpur, however I believe that it certainly should be part of every photographer's Malaysia portfolio. Luckily the sky over Kuala Lumpur is changing so much that no shot can be same as other. Thank you Vedd for taking me there !
