When is the best way to climb all kinds of observation platforms? That’s right, in clear and sunny weather. But this is not about us, as in The situation with the Olympic tower in Munich, we had no luck. At first the day of our arrival in Kuala Lumpur the weather was the most outstanding, but we slept all day after a long and sleepless journey. And what it was our surprise that the rest 3 days it was raining and the city was tightened by a haze of clouds.
Near the tower grows a tall and thick tree, which is almost a hundred years. When the Menara was built, the locals did not let him cut it, and now it grows alongside, and Bukit Park is made around it Nanas.

Menara Tower in Kuala Lumpur
Menara (Menara Kuala Lumpur or Menara KL Tower) – a television tower with a height of 421 meters, which is considered the 4th highest in the world among similar towers, according to themselves builders. True, their opinion differs from Wikipedia, because that progress does not stand still, and towers were built higher, and in reality, it is now the 6th highest in the world.
However, for us it is not the height of the Menara Tower itself that is important, how much is the height of its viewing platform, and here Menara will be on one of the first places, at least exactly above the Ostankino towers.

A little upset because of the bad weather, we still got up on the tower of Menara. We bravely waited for the rain to end, sitting in a cafe at foot and gobbling food brought with them, but never came. Above the rain was not visible, but the horizon was all enveloped white mist, and it’s a pity because there is a chain of mountains.

Nevertheless, we didn’t regret how much time was spent and of money. I certainly do, because my element is air, and I love all sorts heights. We were higher than all the skyscrapers in the district, well, except perhaps that the twin towers of Petronas (Petronas).

At the entrance to the Menara view platform, everyone gets a media player with screen and headphones, with which the virtual guide will hold you a tour in Russian! There are other languages if after long wanderings you have forgotten how to perceive the Russian language. There is only one difficulty here – to simultaneously photograph, listen and find the sights told Kuala Lumpur for window is quite difficult.

In addition to the viewing platform, a supplement is added to the ticket to choose from: Cultural Village (Cultural Village) or Animal Zone (Mini zoo) + F1 gaming machine + pony rides. Our choice fell on the village, because we are “smart”, and walking in the open was the most time.

Most of all we were pleased with the bamboo house. Twenty years ago I could only dream of such a thing by building huts in the trees with others the boys.
