The Thaipusam festival originated in India to commemorate the victory of the god of war Murugan over the devil. On this day, believers will express their piety by piercing their bodies, carrying "Kavadi" (a gorgeously decorated sacrificial rack), and walk long distances to the temple. In Malaysia, the most abundant activities of the Thaipusam festival are mainly in Kuala Lumpur, Penang and other places. 
If you come to Malaysia in January or February, you must experience this grand festival that blends vision and faith!

Night city lights excursion very much enjoyed . Beautiful illumination of landmarks and skyscrapers .Regarding the purchase of admission tickets.  It is required to redeem the ticket at the kiosk . It is advisable to arrive 30 min - 1 hour in advance to get in line for the bus to the upper deck . There was only one stop for disembarkation for 5 min near the government building, the rest of the sights passed without stops. The trip was great, I recommend it.

I went there after it rained in the evening. I thought all the projects were closed, but once the rain stopped, all the projects were opened one after another. I have to give a thumbs up to the park. It was very cool at night and the projects were fun.

Aquaria KLCC

Good aquaria,&nbsp; especially the tunnel&nbsp; with sharks, rays and other big&nbsp; fish 🐟 🐠 🎏&nbsp;&nbsp; . Small aquariums are very colorful too, especially with Nemo fish)) You can see jellyfish feeding.&nbsp; My recommendations,&nbsp; especially with kids👍

Kuala Lumpur Tower
