Petronas Twin Towers @ Night



I thought I've  "seen" the Petronas Towers when we visited them that morning. Already, I was amazed by the beauty of the twins lit up by the bright sun at the early part of the day. After our dinner at Soloma Restaurant, something bright in the sky had caught my sight. The spires of the twin towers !!! They looked like tip icebergs, snowy blazingly!! I got excited and rushed our guide to bring us to the site.




Immediately our guide obliged and proudly brought us to a place where the wholeness of the gleaming towers could be best ascertained.




Definitely this was not the near front of the towers where we were trying to catch whole bodied photos of the structures that early morning of the same day and failed because we were too near. I guess, it was like across the street. We had not figured it out that morning thu'.




And there_ the Petronas Twin Towers, in full glory!!!




Soooo beautiful!!!!

Petronas Twin Towers







At last I came to see the "twins"_ Petronas Twin Towers. Not anymore the tallest buildings in the world (Taipei 101 is ), but still the tallest twin buildings in the world.




The two towers are connected by a skybridge. This skybridge is said to be the highest 2 storey bridge in the world. This can be found on the 41st and 42nd floors.




The Skybridge is open to all for free, but time was limiting to us. Everyday, thousands of visitors line-up to avail the free passes. So I wasn't able to go up there. Maybe next time;)




So as not to limit myself to the facade beauty of the towers, we went inside.








The interior is not as overwhelming as the view outside but has its own character




Now, looking at these photos..I'm a bit lost. I remember a mall beneath the towers, but got no trace of a mall in these photos. Wait, I'll check other photos.



There.. can you spot those shops at the back of that giant lift ? Most of them are branded shops. Suria KLCC, the mall, is one of the biggest in Malaysia.









Going back outside the towers, is the KLCC Park. It has incorporated light show, children's playground, a walking and jogging paths and wading pools.
This is also where you would insist on achieving a full bodied shot of the twins but 100% , amateur  photography would fail.













Later at night, a tour guide had brought us where we could savor the Petronas Towers in full glory_ coming next.
