In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, besides the Petronas Twin Towers and McDonald's, there are many great photo spots📷 For example, the River of Life🌟, this river is not too much to see, but the murals on the walls amazed me... especially the blue-green one🦋 📷Photo spot: Across the river, the blue house has stairs, you can walk up, and the person and the mural are cleverly integrated, a very dreamy picture💫 It is recommended to wear bright clothes, 👗red dress is the best! Oil painting🖼️ 🐳Photo tips: The photographer should zoom in from across the river Bring a zoom camera if possible📷 I forgot to bring it, so I took it with my phone, with 5x zoom 💡But be careful, it's a bit old and a bit high, so be careful The River of Life is very close to Independence Square, so you can visit both places together~

#cityscape #100waysoftravel #kuala_lumpur #cityviews In the late afternoon, we visited the River of Life in Kuala Lumpur, a hidden gem in the heart of the city. Offering a picturesque view of the city’s oldest mosque, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, the area blends history with modern urban life. Although we visited during the dry season and missed the famed water fountain display, the calm atmosphere was still a refreshing escape from the city's usual hustle and bustle. Strolling along the riverbanks, we enjoyed the peacefulness of this quiet spot, surrounded by the cityscape of Kuala Lumpur, making it a worthwhile stop in our urban adventure.

#malaysia The River of Life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is said to be one of the top ten waterfronts in the world1. It is one of the most iconic sights in Kuala Lumpur, dotted with quaint cafes, scenic bicycle lanes, and manicured gardens. The river transforms into a striking cobalt blue at night, and water and lights dance to various musical tracks. It’s a sight to behold with stunning views of the city’s oldest mosque, Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad. Overall, it’s a nice place with an awesome view at night. The blue LED light gives the river a fairytale-like appearance. It’s recommended to check for showtimes before you visit.

#TravelMalaysia Recommend places to take beautiful pictures around River Of Life, where there are corners to sit and relax, and there are cool paintings on the building where many people come to take pictures. This place is beautiful both day and night. At night, there are lights, colors of the river, and Sultan Abdul Samad Mosque, which makes it look even more magnificent. It is a popular spot on the Kuala Lumpur side.

🇲🇾 THE RIVER OF LIFE 📸 People who love taking pictures must come here. I recommend coming in the evening from 5:30 PM onwards. It won't be hot. At night, they turn on the lights, which are very beautiful. 🇲🇾 This is one of the most beautiful and story-telling rivers in Kuala Lumpur. It is located near Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, a very old mosque. The significance of this place is that it is the confluence of two rivers, the Klang River and the Gombak River. 🎨 There is street art showing the lifestyle of old Malaysians along the riverside walls. It is very beautiful. ✨ #TravelMalaysia #TravelMalaysia #Malaysia #MalaysiaWorthVisiting #TravelAbroad #gmmsdiary #Kuala Lumpur #TravelAsia

#Malaysia tourist attractions River of life is a place where the rivers that meet are renovated to be clean, beautiful, beautiful scenery, a tourist attraction and a viewpoint along the river, on the bridge and with beautiful paintings along the river. It is next to Masjid Jamek and behind Merdeka Square. A place suitable for walking during the day and especially at night, there is a special feature in the canal area where water mist is sprayed until it becomes a pond, along with decorative lights, making this place beautiful and charming in another way.

This Chinese New Year, visit Kuala Lumpur. See the Arabian-style buildings at Merdeka Square and cross the street to the other side. You will see a riverside promenade with a bridge to Masjid Jamek. But if you walk further, you will see old buildings on the right. On the opposite side are shophouses, but they are painted and drawn to blend in with the landscape on both sides of the river. At the location of Masjid Jamek, the Klang River is divided into 2 lanes. On the left is the Gombak River and on the right is the Klang River. At this point, the mosque is very visible. The landscape has been beautifully renovated. At night, there should be beautiful lights. But I didn't stop to see it. I haven't been to KL for many years. It has changed a lot. This area has become a riverside promenade all the way to Central Market. A little further, you will reach the Pasar Seni MRT station. A big city, when it is renovated and maintained, becomes more worth seeing, especially important historical sites, like KL's riverside promenade called the River of Life.

A new iconic landmark in KL city, a confluence of two rivers Sg Gombak and Sg Klang surrounded by highrise buildings and heritage buildings. A must visit place for tourists and travelers. Address - Jalan Benteng, City Centre, 50050 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Highlights - a beautiful panorama at night with blue lights surrounding the river area. Rating - 5⭐ Such a beautiful sight in the middle of the city 🏙️. #riveroflife #kualalumpur #awesomepic
