If you are ever unsure of what to do or
where to visit in KLCC, you can either drop by at Aquaria and meet friendly sea
creature or take a walk at the Skybridge, connecting Petronas Tower 1 to Tower
2 (the view is breathtaking, you won’t regret it). Whatever it is, you will not
regret it.
#TravelTips 1 : Aside from the KLCC
Skybridge and Aquaria (both located in the building), you can also visit the
Petrosains which is located inside the Suria KLCC Mall itself as well as the Malaysian
Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas.
#TravelTips 2 : There are also Petronas
Gallery located inside the mall.
All you animal lovers and city dwellers, if
you ran out of ideas on where to go (especially those with kids), head over to
Aquaria KLCC and meet 5,000 different exhibits of aquatic and land-bound
creatures. And my personal favourite will be the Lion Fish, Jelly Fish (love to
see how they glide) and Puffer Fish (do you know I have eaten one before when I
was in Japan). Best experience would be when I walk into the walkalator tunnel
with shark and manta ray swimming across.
Some of the highlights in Aquaria are the
Amazing Rocky Shore touch pool, Red-Bellied Piranha exhibition (this is the
only place in Malaysia granted permission to see one), Rare Sand-Tiger Sharks,
the 10 foot long gigantic Arapaima and the gentle Green Sea Turtle. That one
activity might thrill our young friends (adults too perhaps) are the feeding of
the sharks at Aquatheatre, Flying Rays at the Living Ocean among others.
#TravelTips 3 : Check out the feeding time
upon arriving so that you can plan well.
#TravelTips 4 : Check out activities that
they have so you can allocate your time accordingly.
In paying tribute to World Ocean Day, KLCC
started an awareness campaign called Blue Ocean, Green Action striving to
educate the young about the importance of wildlife, the environment and its
relationship with people.
#TravelTips 5 : It is important to educate
the young ones on our environment, get the Aquaria team to explain more.

“ As an internationally recognised
landmark, the PETRONAS Twin Towers symbolise the courage, ingenuity,
initiative, and determination, energy, confidence, optimism, advancement and
zest of a nation. ”
Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad
Former Prime Minister of Malaysia
(1981-2003)
Little did I know that the Petronas Twin
Towers are depicted through its outline, which resembles the letter
"M" for Malaysia. But what I did know is that Tower 1 was build by
Hazama Corporation Japan where else Tower 2 by Samsung Engineering &
Construction Korea, and that the Towers were completed in 1996. This iconic
building is ranked the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and
remains the tallest twin towers in the world by the Council on Tall Buildings
and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).
Its famous double decker skybridge connects
the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors, remains the highest 2-story bridge
in the world. The skybridge is open to all visitors however the tickets are
limited to 1000 people per day and is on a first-come, first-served basis.
#TravelTips 6 : Start your day early and get
