WINTER TERRYUnited States

KL escapes to a World Natural Heritage site in half an hour and encounters the national bird.

What can you find within a half-hour drive of Kuala Lumpur? Not a shopping mall, not a cafe, but a place listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site (2025)— 📍FRIM Kepong Forest Research Institute (FRIM Malaysia) Before visiting, I thought it was just a "green lung park," but after going, all I can say is: 📌This is practically KL's real-life "Forest Secrets DLC"! One of the world's largest man-made rainforests, a restoration miracle of nearly a century. 📌Super lucky to encounter Malaysia's national bird—the hornbill, a bird steeped in love stories and possessing a perfect appearance. I heard that hornbill numbers are drastically declining due to forest destruction 😭😭 🔖Reservation Method: 📧Reservation 🎫: RM5/person, Guide Fee: RM150/10 people. Please find travel companions in advance. This place is truly special. The forest has been gradually recovering since 1929, experiencing tropical monsoons, the return of flora and fauna, and the establishment of ecological balance… If you're tired of the city, give yourself a morning, to listen to the wind rustling through the leaves at FRIM.

The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur

This trip to Kuala Lumpur chose St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, said St. Regis, appearance and layout do not worry, the most impressed me is that it is not right in the city center, nearby roads are not always jammed, and train, from the hotel to Kuala Lumpur Central Station walk less than ten minutes, play back to the hotel rest is convenient enough! This time I booked the most distinctive Caroline Astor Suite, to talk about the landscape and room design, definitely exceeded expectations! Hotel location and transportation: St. Regis Kuala Lumpur is located at 6, Jalan Stesen Sentral 2. There is a convenience store downstairs, and the food and beverage options nearby are not bad. Rooms and Facilities: The most recommended is of course the Caroline Astor Suite, some St. Regis suites in KL have average views, but the card case faces a large forest, overlooking the city center of KLCC, and even the bathroom can chill and enjoy the view! Entering the room is a super wide corner living room, floor-to-ceiling glass windows draw natural light in, looking out in both directions at night, it feels very healing. There is a separate dining room and desk, so you don't have to be so cramped. There is a large cloakroom inside that doubles as a dressing table, which is convenient enough. The bathroom has all marble walls and a spacious vanity. Service Tips: St. Regis has always focused on courteous butler service. You can get a welcome drink when you check in, so you can hang out just after you get off the plane. If you want your clothes to be ironed, call the housekeeper directly for help, any language, Chinese! The front desk was polite and courteous, pointing out the attractions and arranging transportation to help you explain clearly. Breakfast is buffet, varied and fresh, worth getting up early to eat, do not want crowds to avoid peak hours. Surrounding attractions: The hotel is a short walk to NU Sentral shopping mall, so you don't have to go far if you want to eat authentic restaurants and cafes. A few minutes drive or take the subway directly to KLCC Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur Tower to take beautiful photos; Check-in highlights: A must-see is the bathroom's all-marble design and floor-to-ceiling windows, which are bright enough without having to turn on the lights in the afternoon. If you like to take pictures of city views outside the window, choose a card case, every angle is beautiful. Real insights from the stay experience: The room space is so large that it is mistaken for a suite Boss House, the zoning is reasonable to not be afraid of chaos, the wardrobe is oversized, and clothes will not run out of space no matter how you organize them. The happiest thing is that the bathroom is really beautiful, so bright that the morning mood is very cool. The only thing to be aware of is that breakfast may be crowded and it is more comfortable to avoid the busiest hours. Booking Tips: Most card cases face the woods and urban areas, you can specify when booking that you want a beautiful view, if you want a good view remember to choose the Caroline Astor Suite. In peak season, breakfast is recommended to go down early without waiting for a seat. Transportation in the city is basically by train and subway, Uber/Grab is very convenient. There are more hotels in Kuala Lumpur, and if you want to have a quiet environment and convenient travel, St. Regis is really a high score. The suite view is really almost the same as the official promotion, there will be no expectation gap. If I come to Kuala Lumpur next time, I am sincerely willing to stay again! # Book a hotel remember to find your favorite room type in advance, peak season does not wait for people; city attractions are recommended to see the business hours in advance, some attractions close early; St. Regis hotel type suitable for travelers who do not want too busy and pursue service, business or vacation! #November Good Places 2025
