Rating 8110

Mostly tourists take 2-3 days in the capital. And mostly to see the curiosities of skyscrapers, and modern life.
We are no exception. From the hotel Element Kuala Lumpur by Westin and all the benefits of civilization 30 minutes by taxi. The driver was barely talked to take us for 10 dollars (asked for ringgits), and the exchangers are still closed at 9 am.
But to visit KL and not see the huge statue of the god Murugan would not be right.
From the very morning it is already hot at 30 degrees, and there are already quite a few tourists of different nationalities! )
At the foot of the mountain, locals have set up a market where you can buy souvenirs, fruits, and water. Prices are reasonable, as elsewhere in Malaysia. They do not rip off the poor tourist and are not imposed.
And on the stairs, oh, how not easy to climb up 272 steps, but we got there, washing ourselves afterwards! ) Tourists are cheered up only by birds and monkeys, scurrying right at their feet and along the railing, absolutely not afraid of people. We enter a cool cave, inside the temple, believers pray and offer gifts to their gods.
Through a small hole in the mountain above, a ray of sun breaks through.
Here is the view! ) You can’t even believe it, the majestic skyscrapers of the city, noise and bustle can be seen very close in the haze.
This "miracle" in Kuala Lumpur must be seen as the main attraction! )
