Vibrant Kuala Lumpur is a cosmopolitan mix of cultures and people, and is vying for the role of South East Asia's most progressive city. Modern symbols of the city's growth, including the stunning Petronas Towers, sit side by side with older buildings dating from KL's relatively short history, including the original Mosque built at the site of the two rivers that gave the city its name.
