Kuala Lumpur City Tour
Welcome to day two in Kuala Lumpur now coming to Google Maps I’m now right in the city center and this is where a lot of the most historic buildings are located all within the short space of each other not sure what this is this is probably on the uh Heritage Trail
Maybe when we get around the corner we can get a better look at it and find out what it is all right then this will lead us so a lot of the historic buildings Kuala Lumpur right what’s this then this is the pejabat UK FMS llama the old FMS survey office
Just next to that we have the pangong bandaraya the city theater I’m really surprised how empty it is this is like the historic part of Kuala Lumpur and there’s no bug around Abdul Samad building but check it out from the front on the night of August 30th 1957 the Union Jack was lowered
The music of God Save the Queen was played at 1201 on August the 31st the Malaysian flag was raised Malaysia became independent and August the 31st is celebrated every year to commemorate Malaysian Independence Day got some bloody strange Malaysian guy following the all the other photos uh-huh I’ve got to lose this guy
I mean the guy I’ve took photos of him for him with him let’s see what this is over here hopefully don’t follow me in the thing is when I’m having my photo when he crabs hold me really like pulls me really close when he took a photo
Like a selfie he’s like had his cheek right on tonight just gone into the Kuala Lumpur City gallery and uh people queuing up it says the 90 minute waiting time to get in stop that this is probably the best view of the mosque I’m going to get some nice suit out here
Beautiful building with some great street art showing the old Tradesmen of Kuala Lumpur oh I’m doing that unusual thing again where it gets to like three o’clock in the afternoon they’re still not eating so I’ll just come into the nearest restaurant that I found near the Central
Market and of course our plenty of where guys in here and uh yeah got some chicken curry I have no idea how I’m gonna pay for this because well I don’t know they’ll just plug it and sat down it’s a little bit spicy that’s okay that’s within my range of what I can
Handle it’s really really nice the rice is perfect Google Maps has tried to check me on a two-hour walk to get to the station and it was three minutes away wow can’t work out which is which is this the railway station I think it is what was it this
I think it might be missing huh this is the old Railway headquarters building which was built in 1913 by a British architect named Mr a hubbock and construction work was temporarily interrupted by the first World War part of the building was damaged during World War II when it was bombed and then
In 1968 the same part of the building was gutted by fire well that’s where the confusion I hope there was the railway headquarters and this building what I was unsure about this is the actual station and uh 1892 this was built the first ever Railway to connect Kuala Lumpur
Ran from Kuala Lumpur to clang on the 22nd of September 1886. I’m not sure what is in here is it actually still a railway station looks like yeah let’s go and have a look see if it’s kept some of its original charm no it just looks like any Old Railway Station
I can’t go through to look at the platforms without having a ticket okay so enjoy it from outside on everyone at the Deer Park they’re all set as far away as possible well the Deer Park has brought me right down into the center of the Botanical Gardens
So let’s go and have an explore all right here we have the bamboo Playhouse a little entirely bamboo the Bumble was really really fast growing it’s actually a member of the grass family believe it or not we can Grill about 30 centimeters in a day but the diameter of bumble stays the
Same throughout his entire life well I mean one of the bamboo baskets there’s a reminder on the outside that only three children at a time with no more than a combined weight of 100 kilograms can climb into the basket so I don’t think I’m 100 kilograms just yet
Although I don’t know I’ve not been weighed since I went on my moping diet in Bangkok beautiful bird all right let’s have a look in the Oasis garden then which thankfully isn’t playing the music of some Second Great Beatles tribute band but we do have some lovely Birds
You’re gonna fly away as soon as you see oh there’s Ophelia wow look at them all all the trees have these little QR codes on them and you scan them in and it gives you all the information about the tree so this one is the yellow flame tree the
Scientific name is the pill topherum terracottam tells you our Hiatus 15 meters spreads for eight meters a random theater right in the middle of the Botanical Gardens I wonder what kind of events they have on here this is today’s TV then double beef special two passes what’s in there Burgers straight out of
The packet but what the hell this is going to be one messy sandwich when I think about all the amazing food in Malaysia and I just looked a couple of Frozen burgers sometimes you just want a burger you know and you have to take these risks
It’s my last night in Kuala Lumpur for now tomorrow I head to the city of Malacca but I will be back I spent Christmas here I’m going to guatemalaka for four days and then I’m coming back to Kuala Lumpur for New Year I think the New Year celebration through Kuala Lumpur might
Be uh something really good so I’m going to make the most of being in Malaysia for New Year and then I’m out of here I’m not gonna explore Borneo or anything like I did last time it’s too bloody expensive Malaysia seven pound fifty for a beer I’m sorry but
That’s there’s only so long I can stay in a place that charges and prices so after this a little bit Vietnam yeah I’m heading to the food market again I might have some more durian smell it I’ve seen some Mustang King durian which is supposedly one of the best ones it’s
50 for a kilogram up here I did see some places selling it just small pieces for 15 just three quid so I might give some Mustang logo I don’t know what dummy it was I tried in Cameron Islands let’s see what we’ve got over here so it’s about three pounds
It smells like vegetables let’s see what it smells like now okay all right that looks like a nice soft piece but it almost looks like a big a lot of custard or something Is That’s good I think I prefer that to the last one bitter but creamy at the same time texture is really nice I’m getting there this is let’s give this one seven out of ten well I’ve had to do it in and now I’ve got this really strong Taste of enough
So there’s a guy around here who sells Portuguese Tarts what do you call them I forget the name Whatever it is it’s not fast to visit or something like that anyway where is it kind of uh oh yeah I must have walked past him already here it is yeah maybe I’ll get two this
On my second full day in Malaysia’s capital city, I headed out to explore some of the city’s most famous and historic buildings on the Kuala Lumpur Heritage Trail.
I then walked to Kuala Lumpur’s oldest train station on my way to the Botanical Gardens.
I finished the day with a dodgy burger and some durian at the Jalan Aor street food district.
Join me as I explore more of Kuala Lumpur!

The kl old railway station was built with a strong roofing which can withstand heavy snowfalls according to British standards at that time.
Enjoy your musang king
Great vlog Scott š
Welcome to KL…great footages
Wonderful. Thank you for this video. Happy New Year 2024 to you.
Iām enjoying your videos. Will be in KL on Jan 26th. Love it!
KL is easy to navigate, I would think. Any plans to visit Kuching and Kota Kinabalu? Kuching's old buildings are mostly within the Waterfront. And if you like history, head over to the largest museum in Malaysia (second largest in SEA).
