1. Petronas twin tower at KLCC (Kuala Lumpur Convention Center)
Grab a stunning view of the world's tallest twin building from here :
My all time favourite spot is A, B and KLCC Park office
All #klccphoto Spots are free of charge
#KLCC Park (Spot B)
Best time to come; morning before 10.00 am to get good lighting and avoid backlight
evening 7.00 - 9.00 pm to get a stunning view when they turn on the lights
Spot A
This place is THE MOST POPULAR among everyone and always full of tourist from all around the world. Its almost impossible to take this kind of picture. I took this picture at 1am! yes early morning when the lights already off. The guard will come and chase you if you spent too long in this spot but it's ok to just take pictures in few minutes here
KLCC Park Office
This spot is ALWAYS EMPTY! not many tourists took a shot from here, you need to bend down to get full look of twin towers. I took this picture during Hari Raya 2018, as you can see they have Ketupat ornaments at the entrance of Suria KLCC.
The Sultan Abdul Samad building is a late nineteenth century building located at Jalan Raja, in front of Dataran Merdeka. This building used to be a government office during British administration. During that time, the name of this building was Federal Secretariat, then only in 1974 they relocate the office to Shah Alam and renamed this building as Sultan Abdul Samad. Malaya gained independence in 1957, the British union jack on top of Federal Secretariat was lowered down and change to Malayan flag officially for the first time at midnight on 30th August when the clock started chimming. The field in front of Sultan Abdul Samad officially become the place for celebration starting from 1990 and named as Dataran Merdeka (Independence Field). Inspired by Moghul architectural style, this building has topped by a shiny copper dome and a 41m high clock tower as a city landmark (source wiki)
This place is simply stunning as an instagrammable spot in Kuala Lumpur.

You can have Masjid Jamek as a background and if you come early morning (around 8-9am) you can have fogging effect as a background. Lovely right? Come in early also helps you to avoid the crowds and the heat.

Taman Eko Rimba Kuala Lumpur or previously knows as Taman Bukit Nenas is one of the best "forest in the city" that you can find in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city. They even have canopy walk in this Taman. Perfect for leisure trekking even for senior citizen.

Obviously this place is instagram worthy too.
