Taman Tasik Perdana (Lake Gardens)
The Lake Gardens date back as far as 1888, when the British colonials built their elegant houses around the landscaped gardens. Today, the focus of the 68-hectare (172-acre) oasis is the boating lake, but other highlights include the orchid garden with around 800 different varieties, the hibiscus garden with some 500 different species, the deer park, butterfly park and the bird park.

Little India
Explore beyond the Malay mores that Kuala Lumpur wears so proudly on its sleeve and there are traces of a multitude of other cultures that blossom in the city, such as Little India. This historic district is full of colourful streets, especially Jalan Masjid India.

Millionaires Row
Known locally as either Millionaires Row or Ambassadors Row, Jalan Ampang is lined with the luxurious mansions of the old colonialists who grew rich on the wealth generated by the tin trade. Today, many of these dwellings have been converted into embassies and consulates, giving it its alternative name. Curiously, few visitors explore this area even though it gives a lucid insight into the embryonic years of the city.
