Just visited Malaysia and was there at the Petronas towers. Wow.. It was truly amazing being there at 6 a.m.
The Petronas Twin Towers (also known as the Petronas Towers), in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, were once the world's tallest buildings when measured from the level of the main entrance to the structural or architectural top.
The Petronas Twin Towers are currently the tallest twin towers in the world, and they lay claim to being the world's tallest high rise of the 20th century.

Oh they always keep planning this and that.. and creating such huge structures which attracts a lot of tourists and bringing revenues to the coutnry.
I have even seen a couple of so called wonders of the world. They are great architectures and most of them have historical significance and that what really intrigues me.

Hi, Correct me if I am wrong.. But I clearly said Petronas Twin Towers are the Tallest Twin Towers.
Taipei 101 is one single tower and yes, it is the world's tallest structure.

It isnt the tallest building anymore.I have seen the twin towers up close in daytime and at night time but i would definitely encourage others to view it at night time when all the lights are on.It is spectacular to look at.I have lots of pictures taken of the petronas towers and until now im still amazed.

I had visited the Petronas Tower too. I had been up the bridge 3 times. I was actually not so keen on the bird eye view of Kuala Lumpur after the first trip up. I'm more astonished with the lift mechanism. It operates at 1 sec per floor. The bridge that link the two towers are at 40th floor for public viewing and 41 floor for building tenants. I went up just to challenge the timing of the lift.LOL. If you need to go up the bridge for viewing be prepared to queue for the ticket as early as 8 am on weekends and malaysia school and public holiday. The ticket is free and you get to view a short documentary on the twin tower before going up the 40 floor. A visit to KL is incomplete without visiting this Malaysia new icon.

we went to malaysia last summer... sadly, i was only able to reach the outside of the petronas tower... we arrived at kuala lumpur at 10pm and we were scheduled to be picked-up for transfer to sunway lagoon the next day at 9am, so early in the morning my brothers and i walked to the petronas tower but the building was still closed, so we just took some pictures outside and went back to our hotel...
