So, what is so interesting about both of this iconic tower of  Malaysia? People say it a must visit place if you come to Kuala Lumpur.



Well first, we take a look at the KL Tower, which i have visited before.

So here we go,

The KL Tower is a 421m high telecommunications and broadcasting tower which actually appears to be taller than the Petronas Towers, because it is built on a hill. Amidst the city of Kuala Lumpur stands the Menara Kuala Lumpur at 515m above sea level.

Located in the heart of the Golden Triangle, Kuala Lumpur’s business and entertainment district, the Tower is perched at 421 meters /1,403 feet. Bukit Nanas itself, where the tower is built, is 94 meters above sea level. The Tower is the second tallest tower in Asia today.

It's a joke, and everybody knows, that the Petronas Towers are the highest buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Tourists and executives flying in on business class airfares always try to get a good look at the Petronas Towers. Air travel into the city, whether for business or pleasure, is not complete without seeing these marvels of modern architecture from an airline.

It also claims to house the highest McDonald's in the World. This tower has an observation deck, where you  finally can manage to get a bird's eye view of the city.


Menara Kuala Lumpur ranks fourth amongst the tallest telecommunications towers in the world and was constructed over a period of four years and completed in May 1996. Menara Kuala Lumpur is designed to withstand wind pressures of up to 90mph.


Here's a fact about the tower.


Not to forget that there are also a mini zoo located just a few meters from the tower. It's called KL tower Mini Zoo.























All of the photos are taken during my visit to the mini zoo.




And sure there are ticket price as well.
