Iconic shopping
Located inside the iconic Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur’s most famous landmark, the ultra-modern Suria KLCC mall is just as impressive as the historic GUM department store in Moscow.
These torpedo-shaped silver towers house dozens of high-end stores such as Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Ralph Lauren, and boast amazing views from the skybridge – especially at sunset.
Places of worship
Just as colourful as Moscow’s famous St Basil’s Cathedral is the historic Chinese temple of Thean Hou, a six-tiered Buddhist monument constructed to honour the goddess of fishermen.
It’s one of the oldest and largest temples in Southeast Asia. With traditional Chinese architecture and extravagant styling, the temple is particularly beautiful, especially after dark, when hundreds of lanterns adorn the complex.
