Walking around Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka)

#malaysiatrip Walking around Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is a great way to explore the city's colonial history, architecture, and cultural landmarks. 💙Sultan Abdul Samad Building A stunning Moorish-style building, once home to British colonial administration. Now houses the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia. Gorgeous photo spot, especially at sunset. 💙Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) The spot where the Malayan flag was first raised on August 31, 1957, marking independence from British rule. Known for its massive open green field and the 95-meter-high flagpole — one of the tallest in the world 💙Kuala Lumpur City Gallery Features exhibits about KL’s history and development. Famous for the “I ❤️ KL” sculpture outside — popular with tourists. 💙St. Mary's Anglican Cathedral A beautiful Gothic-style church built in 1894. One of the oldest Anglican churches in Southeast Asia. Old High Court Building Another example of colonial architecture worth seeing.
