Petronas Twin Towers - KLCC (Part Three)

Continued from Part Two.

Apart from the Suria shopping mall, the Petronas Twin Towers also house the Petronas Philharmonic Theatre where several international jazz and orchestral performances have been held.

The towers also house the Petronas Science Center.

The KLCC Park covers an area of some 20 hectacres.

And there is a skybridge connecting the two towers at between the 41st and 42nd floors.

Petronas Twin Towers - KLCC (Part One)

When they were first completed in 1998, the Petronas Twin Towers were considered the tallest buildings in the world until 2004 when they were overshadowed by the Taipei 101 skyscrapers. Today, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai lords over the rest.

But if I am not mistaken, the twin towers are still regarded as the tallest twin buildings in the world. The towers house the Suria shopping mall which, as far as  I am concerned, is one of the more pleasant malls to shop in in Kuala Lumpur city. Except on weekends when hordes of foreign immigrant workers converge on the place and movement becomes difficult.

There is also a large well-landscaped and maintained public park with jogging tracks in their vicinity.

Suria shopping mall houses practically all the big name tenants including Malaysia's own hero and world renowned shoe-maker Jimmy Choo.

Kristina's relatives flew in from England for their summer holidays and KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center) and the twin towers were the logical place to show them around for a start.
