Τι να κάνετε στο Malaysia

1. Petronas Twin Towers

Kuala Lumpur

Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Step onto the skybridge and you’ll feel a slight lift in perspective, with panoramic views that compress the whole city into a tiny, cinematic model. Reflective stainless-steel and glass skin throws back a thousand pinpoints of light after dark, turning the façades into a dazzling, ever-changing lantern.

Αξιοσημείωτα: At 451.9 meters with 88 floors, the twin towers are linked by a 58.4-meter skybridge on the 41st and 42nd floors that is not rigidly fixed, so you can feel it sway ever so slightly when wind or structural movement makes the separate towers shift. At night the stainless-steel cladding and Islamic geometric motifs catch and scatter city lights into a shimmering, mirrorlike skin, and locals still flock to the fountain plaza at dusk to snap photos and buy satay from nearby vendors while the towers glow above.
