KUALA LUMPUR
Near the center of Kuala Lumpur, the Klang and Gombak rivers flow quietly
together, their confluence barely noticed amid the dwarfing skyline of gleaming
new hotels and office buildings. A few feet from the place where the rivers
meet, the Jamik Mosque rests in the middle of it all like a piece of beautiful
antique furniture, curiously left behind in a living room renovated for the
space age. Walk to the rear of the mosque, and you will come to a small grassy
field; walk to the southernmost edge of the field, and you can stand at the
exact point where the rivers join. It is a strange place to stand. Overshadowed
by the crowded skyline, the spot feels improbably humble and empty. It seems
impossible that the entire city sprung from this one spot.
NOW, Kuala Lumpur has become one of the 7 wonders of cities in the world.
SO LETS DISCOVER!
