#malaysiatrip This is such a wonderful park with a huge lake, beautiful trees and many types of flowers/plants to enjoy along the many trails here. It would be great if FRIM could improve the care of the plants around the park. Entrance fee is RM1 payable at the main entrance. (Ewallet available) and RM5 for car park. If you are lucky you can get free parking outside near the housing area. Waze Frim 2nd Entrance Garden of Eden to get here. Come early if possible it not bring an unbrella or wear a cap as the sun can get hot later in the day.

If you are like me, one of people who stay in KL Looking for a nature gateway that has beach and seaside but yet not too far from KL Tanjung Sepat is definitely the right place for you! At here you can find many local seafood at a reasonable price and many attractive locations as you can see as the pictures I’ve uploaded! You can drive around this small city to go to different locations Its a good two days one night trip for people who want to escape from the jungle city#awesomepic #本地遊

#newyearadventure #yearofrabbit #awesomepic #vianasjourney Taman Eko Rimba, Sungai Tua. It’s quite a drive from KL, but it won’t take long than 1hour 30minutes. There are few places/ spot (along the same river) you can actually stop for picnic but I like this one especially because the view are much more stunning, water are clearer as it is a bit on the further up side, they do have few small hut for you to put your stuff and most have a bbq spot on the side. Bear in mind that you have to pay for entrance fee for each person and ‘sewa tapak’ for the whole group. It didnt cost much but less than 10 ringgit per person and also for the ‘tapak’

This location is about 100km drive from Kuala Lumpur city center. It is small fishing town in Kuala Langat in the district of Selangor. You can find some nice restaurants which serves fresh seafood and there is a famous Pau shop which sells a variety of them and they are very tasty. Fruits are available at the stalls along the shops and the price is reasonable. A few coffee shops serves great noodle and good coffee too

A very lively countryside. All the people in the countryside are riding motorcycles and driving close to the seaside. They can fish, enjoy the sea breeze, and eat Bak Kut Teh in the morning.

The Batu Caves are one of the best places I have seen in Asia. When staying in KL it’s simple enough to jump on the train (early of course) and travel up to Batu for these caves. They are well worth the trip and the main cave is free to enter. Other caves can be entered and explored for a minor fee. #passionpassport #bucketlistreboot #malaysia #awesomepic

lot of thing or food to buy when you visit fishing village like Tanjung Sepat.the local handmade pau,coffee powder,fish ball and biscuit are delicious and price is reasonable

love bridge near the beach is the landmark for fishing village Tanjung Sepat.Recently the local authority built a small boat as a new landmark in front of love bridge

It was a pleasant trip. the couple bridge with the new look 👀 local food with a good price :)

BATU CAVES Rainbow Stairs. One of location you can visit if you come to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 30-40 minutes drives from the centre of Kuala Lumpur. Don’t forget to check this rainbow stairs at the Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia. #triplocal

#tripaway to batu cave moment, one of my favorite places to go away from home. it's a Hindu temple in malaysia. I enjoyed so much the cave behind this statue because of it's natural formation. also there are different kinds of animals inside and out. and if you are hungry there are restaurants just in front of this statue. happytrip #tripaway

Batu Caves, Malaysia A tourist spot accessible by train from the city It's a Hindu site, so there are many Indians A place where you can feel the multiculturalism of Malaysia There are many wild monkeys inside the building One of the places I want to go again

Technically this one is a bit outside #kualalumpur proper, but it’s certainly well worth the trip. The rainbow stairs are great and fun to climb (if a bit tiring 🤪). Find yourself a quiet spot where you can enjoy the view. #triplocal #triplocal

Lord Murugan Statue and Batu Cave just amazed me. Two highly recommended attraction to see in just one location is very satisfying. You really just want to stare at the statue and be completely in love with it. Also, though you have to exert some effort in climbing the stairs to get inside Batu Cave, the sculptures inside are breathtaking. Especially, when you see the hole at the top of the cave that also adds up the colors of the sculptures. However, you need to hide your snacks carefully or those monkeys will eat it for you. Nevertheless, Malaysia is Truly Asia.

Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves Kuala Lumpur Super Fire ins wind network red spots As a Hindu pilgrimage site, Batu Caves, definitely the most popular red spot in Kuala Lumpur, countless ins The blogger came here to punch in, the most important thing is not to accept tickets. The Big Buddha in front of the Black Wind Cave is particularly majestic, 140 feet high. This big Buddha is the statue of the god of war. In addition, the red stairs of the net, there are about 200 steps, and you will see a lot of monkeys when climbing stairs, be careful not to tease them, it is quite fierce.

Malaysia has a well-known Batu Caves, not only the iconic attraction of Kuala Lumpur, but also one of the most mysterious and beautiful caves in the world. Batu Caves is approximately 13 km from Kuala Lumpurs commercial centre. Covered with several caves. The ceiling of the cave main temple is more than 100 meters high, without a slight sense of oppression. And the temple is full of Hindu gods. A magnificent statue of the goddess of honor and adoration makes every believer here devoutly worship. If you want to reach the temple, you must climb a 272-level colorful steep staircase. Among the dozens of caves in the black wind cave, the most famous are the black hole and the light hole. The light hole is injected by the hole in the hole. Visitors will enter the metropolis. As for the black hole, many timid people stop the hole because they are afraid of thousands of bats, snakes and reptiles inside.

Batu Caves is a Hindu holy place in Kuala Lumpur. Every day, a large number of believers come to worship. Although I dont know all kinds of gods, they are especially beautiful. To climb to the main temple of the cave, you need to climb 272 rainbow steps, which is not particularly high, but the slope is steep, and there are certain requirements for clothing (especially ladies). There are many monkeys along the way, generally not very big, it seems that they are not particularly afraid of people, but the courage is not fat to grab the package. There are also some Indian restaurants around, RM12 per capita, mostly curry rice and need to grab the soup. The amount... Who knows who to eat! Free visit to the temple, located in the northern suburbs of Kuala Lumpur, about 13km from the city. From KL Central (Kuala Lumpur's largest transit stop), take the Kmuter 2034 subway line and get off at the terminal Batu Caves. Longer, in the urban area with a grab (Southeast Asian version of the drip) taxi about RM20 yuan.

#springitinerary It’s such a pity you’re not from Kepong! This place is a hidden gem—not just for its amazing food scene but also for its stunning parks. Whenever I go for a run there, I’m completely amazed by how peaceful and green everything feels. It’s so serene that I sometimes forget I’m actually still in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur—it feels like I’ve been transported overseas to a quiet natural retreat. The parks are beautifully maintained, with plenty of trees, walking trails, and open spaces that invite you to slow down and breathe in fresh air. Running here feels like a mini escape, a perfect blend of nature and urban life. Honestly, if I could come here every day to jog and soak in the natural vibes, I’m sure it would do wonders for my physical and mental health. For anyone visiting or living in KL, Kepong is definitely a must-visit spot to reconnect with nature and enjoy a refreshing break from city life! #KualaLumpurSpots #KualaLumpur #Kepong #NatureEscape #HealthyLiving

#kualalumpurtrip Although Kuala Lumpur is often known for its fast-paced lifestyle, traffic congestion, and soaring skyscrapers, the city surprisingly offers plenty of opportunities to slow down and relax. Hidden among the busy streets and shopping malls are serene spots that allow you to take a break, unwind, and recharge — all without having to leave the city. Tranquility can be found in places like the Perdana Botanical Gardens, where leafy trails, blooming plants, and peaceful ponds provide a welcome escape from the urban chaos. Not far away, Taman Tugu offers a forested walking trail right in the middle of KL, where the chirping of birds and rustling leaves replace the usual noise of the city. If you prefer a more landscaped environment, KLCC Park is perfect for a jog or stroll with the Petronas Towers serving as a striking backdrop — especially stunning during sunset. For those who seek comfort in the city with a relaxing ambiance, KL’s thriving café scene offers the perfect solution. Whether it’s the calm aesthetic of Noon, the clean minimalism of Contour, or the luxurious charm of Bacha Coffee, there’s a café to suit any mood. Others like 168 Coffee and V88 combine contemporary interiors with soothing vibes, perfect for reading, journaling, or simply people-watching. More tucked-away options like Coffeenies or Transparent Coffee provide quiet escapes from the city’s hustle. If you’re after a deeper sense of relaxation, consider starting your day with yoga or meditation at studios like OM Elements or Hale Wellness. For a pampering treat, Banyan Tree Spa and Hammam Spa at Publika offer immersive spa experiences that help you switch off from the outside world. On weekends, Desa ParkCity makes for a great getaway within the city — featuring pet-friendly trails, lakeside cafés, and open-air dining surrounded by greenery. It’s a favorite for families, pet owners, and those craving a laid-back atmosphere. Similarly, Mont Kiara offers great weekend vibes, with its cafés and outdoor plazas like Arcoris providing a pleasant mix of food, coffee, and chill surroundings. Even in the city center, you’ll find unexpected spaces for calm — from rooftop bars like Vertigo and Fuego with sweeping skyline views, to spiritual sanctuaries like Thean Hou Temple and Masjid Wilayah, ideal for quiet reflection. This contrast is what sets KL apart: a bustling metropolis that still manages to offer pockets of peace and stillness.

#favouriteitinerary The Kepong Botanical Garden, managed by the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM), is a lush sanctuary located approximately 16 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur’s city center. Spanning a vast area, the garden serves as a center for living plant collections, primarily featuring Malaysian flora. It offers a serene green environment ideal for jogging, leisurely walks, and nature appreciation. A park that is very suitable for family hangouts.

#traveldiaries Having lunch with my husband at Chew Jetty Penang Chiak was simple and delicious. The fried Kuey Teow had a smoky flavour, with flat rice noodles stir-fried perfectly with egg, prawns, and bean sprouts. It was savoury, slightly spicy, and really satisfying. The prawn mee was a rich and flavourful noodle soup, with a deep, prawn-based broth. The noodles were soft, and the dish was topped with prawns, egg, and bean sprouts. Both dishes had a nice balance of flavours, making for a tasty and filling meal. It was a great, no-fuss lunch packed with local flavours.

Let’s find some beautiful place to get lost ~ Hidden Gem -> Sky-bridge FRIM, Kepong 🌳 The view in the 🔝 is truly “tree-mendous and worth taking the scenic route!
