my story :-)

Berhubung kita tgl d Batam..so rsnya rugi donk kl gak jln k luar negri..mumpung dkt n hrgnya gak mahal bgt...tapi meski tiket gak mahal,tetep sj dg dana yg terbatas ini hrs mikir jg tempat2 apa yg bs dikunjungi dg buget terbatas...setelah searching2 di google,akhirnya kubuat bbrp kesimpulan...tempat ini ada yg sdh kukunjungi dan ada yg blm :) krn namanya searching, dan rada malas mencatat ulang jd ada yg tulisannya kucopy-paste sj...tp mdh2an bs membantu ya,slmt membaca :)

Tempat menarik di KL selain mall; adalah :

a. Chinatown/Petaling Street : Disini turis dapat membeli souvenir khas malaysia, yang perlu diperhatian harga harus ditawar lebih dari 1/2 karena pedangang disini suka mark up harga tinggi2. Di Chinatown ini juga terdapat makanan Ikan Panggang Portugis yang terkenal (waktu tunggu 1 jam) lokasinya persis didepan HONG LEONG Bank, persis disebelah Gerai Ikan Panggang ini terdapat gerai minuman ” Air mata Kucing” yang legendaris. 2 makanan ini harus dicoba jika anda mengunjungi Chinatown

b. Jd pertimbangan :

· Sunway Lagoon (water park & theme park seperti waterboom tapi nuansa Sunway Lagoon seperti di hutan Amazon)

· Sunway Pyramid (bersebelahan dengan Sunway Lagoon, Mall ini didesign menyerupai pyramid & Sphinx Egypt)

· Merdeka Square

· KL Railway Station

1.BATU CAVE :

The main Batu Cave is known as the Temple Cave or Cathedral Cave and is accessed by a steep flight of 272 steps. The steps are thronged with troupes of greedy macaques who will harass you for food if you are carrying any (better not to feed them).

The top of the stairs brings you into a massive cave with a high vaulted ceiling. The cave serves as a Hindu Temple devoted to Lord Muragan whose 42 meter high gold statue stands guard outside.

T4 k-2 adlh Dark Cave : t4 yg glp..bth pemandu..n hrs byr…tdk ush ikut..krn ada kelelawar jg..

If you cannot manage to climb the 272 steps and if the Dark Cave sounds too creepy you can instead visit the 3rd main attraction, the Cave Villa which lies at the foot of the limestone hill.

You have to pay an entrance fee (RM15 for foreigners, RM7 for Malaysian residents) and cross a crooked bridge over a carp pool. Here there are two more show caves illuminated with coloured lights and containing brightly painted statues and paintings of Indian poets and characters from Hindu mythology. You can read the plaques containing pearls of oriental wisdom while strolling around the humid caves. One of the caves also contains glass display tanks full of snakes and other reptiles.

In the courtyard outside the caves you can see a statue of a five legged bull (with an extra leg growing out of its back) which used to roam freely in the temple grounds until its death from old age.

Cara ke Batu Cave :

On my recent visit I took the KTM Komuter train from KL Sentral all the way to the recently opened Batu Caves Komuter station which is located a few steps from the entrance to the attractions. The fare was only RM2 each way which makes it the cheapest and easiest way to travel. The train has ladies-only coaches for the comfort and safety of female passengers. If you take your own car there is ample parking once you have negotiated the confusing road layout and reached the entrance to the cave complex.

Untuk urusan makan: There are a few restaurants (vegetarian only being a Hindu Temple) where you can get a tasty Indian curry of 4 veggie dishes, rice and poppadums served on a banana leaf, together with a fresh coconut juice for around RM9. Lbh baik bw KFC kl k sana n air minum sendiri.

2.The Lake Gardens/ Taman Botani Perdana

are known by many name including Taman Tasik Perdana and Perdana Lake Gardens, but in July 2011 the park was officially renamed Taman Botani Perdana as part of an ambitious plan to transform the 123 year old lake gardens into a world class botanical garden covering over 100 hectares.

My Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens Trail begins at the National Monument, an imposing bronze statue on a low hill facing the Lake Gardens. This monument was designed by an American sculptor, Felix de Weldon, and completed in 1966. It commemorates the warriors who died defending the sovereignty of Malaysia.

There is a small restaurant nearby, Tugu View Cafe, with a terrace overlooking the Monument where you can take refreshment.

At the foot of the National Monument is the Asean Sculpture Garden (Museum ASEAN sewkt msh 6 ngr,ambil foto dsini) which is worth a quick look. It contains six sculptures of stainless steel, glass, marble and bamboo made by artists from Asean nations in the days when Asean was made up of only 6 countries.

Next, after taking care while crossing the busy Jalan Parlimen, enter into the Lake Gardens Park and take one of the footpaths leading down to the main botanical garden area next to the lakes. You will pass a large amphitheatre (Panggung Anniversari) where shows and cultural events are staged periodically.

The gardens are a paradise for gardening enthusiasts and plant lovers. Some of the highlights include: conservatory garden,herb garden,edible garden,rare fruit, decorative, unique and forest trees,heliconia, orchid and hibiscus gardens,fernarium, cycads and bamboo collections,wrightia, brownea, plumeria and zingiberales collections,tembusu deck (fagraea fragrans) and brazilian nut deck,topiary, sunken garden, di tmn botani ini jg ada : waterfall,outdoor activity area and children's playgrounds,fish pond, rowing, boathouse, jogging paths.

Be sure not to miss the Mouse-deer and Deer Park (Taman Rusa dan Kancil). The mousedeer are cute little things but very shy and you will be lucky to get a good photo. The larger more common deer on the other hand are less camera-shy. You can sometimes buy food for the deer at the entrance to the deer park if anyone is on duty.

Next I suggest a visit to the Orchid & Hibiscus Gardens. This is a park-within-a-park with its own entrance. There is a nominal admission charge at weekends but it is free on weekdays. There are hundreds of specimens of orchid and hibiscus to enjoy here. The hibiscus (or bunga raya) is the national flower of Malaysia.

Di dlm area ini jg ada: KL Bird Park, KL Butterfly Park,Tun Abdul Razak Memorial,Rumah Felda(The Federal Land Development Authority ),Police Museum,Islamic Art Museum,Planetarium Museum…jln trs smpai ke National Museum, t4 trakhir d Lake Garden dan semuanya bs ditempuh dg jln kaki. Dr sini bs pulang dg taxi or walk across to KL Sentral for your train, monorail or bus connections

3.Aquaria

next to the Convention Centre is Aquaria, an international standard aquarium attraction of the sort where you ride on a travelator through a glass tunnel while sharks, rays and other marine creatures glide by. Well worth a visit. Open weekdays from 11am to 8pm and weekends from 10.30am to 8pm. (Last admissions 7pm.) Admission Charges: Adults RM50 / Children RM40. Feeding Session every Monday, Wednesday & Saturday.

Cara k Aquaria via PUTRA LRT : Aquaria KLCC is a short walk from Suria KLCC Putra Line station. From the station, simply enter Suria KLCC and make your way through the underpass tunnel connecting from the lower-ground level of Suria KLCC (next to Kentucky) to the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. From here it's a 5 minute walk through the tunnel to Aquaria KLCC.

4. KLCC Park and Playground

This is for everyone to enjoy and there's no entrance charge. Wading Pool Opening Hours: Tuesday - Sunday 10 am to 6 pm. Park & Playground Opening Hours: 7 am to 9.30 pm. If you are coming from the shopping centre, the park and playground is located behind the water fountain. The playground is a thoughtfully laid out maze of swings, climbers, rope ladders, tunnels and all the kid's stuff which will keep the children enthralled for hours chasing one another or hiding from one another.There's also a shallow wading pool children to play in. The water's no more than 18 inches at the deepest and it's a great way to cool off on a hot day. Come prepared with bathers and a towel for the kids to dry off. No matter how you make them promise not to get wet, children being who they are, will more often than not get themselves wet and probably in the process get you wet as well.

Cara k KLCC Park : you can take the monorail from the Hang Tuah Monorail Station (5 min walk from Sarang Galloway) and get off at the Jalan Ampang Station just in front of Concorde Hotel (Hard Rock Cafe) and walk 10 minutes along Jalan Ampang (one of the longest roads in Kuala Lumpur / Selangor) to KLCC. You will find the walk interesting as you would pass the Renaissance Hotel, New World Hotel, Malaysian Tourism Information Centre (MATIC), Lai Meng Chinese School, ZOUK discotheque complex and the Australian High Commission on Jln Yap Kwan Seng.

Trip To KL, Juli 2012

Kurs : 1 RM = Rp 3.100

Total pengeluaran di pelabuhan ( pp ) : tiket + tax = Rp 1.154.500 pembulatan jd :
Rp 1.160.000

Perjalanan dari Zon Mall / Stulang Laut menuju Larkin ( stasiun bus ) karena bertiga maka memakai taxi agar tidak ribet dg mengambilnya dr luar mall ( dr dlm mall,semua taxi sdh memakai harga sekitar RM 20 ) ,memakai taxi merah krn taxi biru itu lbh mahal krn executive,dg harga RM 10 = Rp 31.000.

Jika sendiri atau tanpa anak, bisa dg naik bus umum sj dr luar mall, pertama, bus akan menuju City Square/Central Stasiun dl, di sini kita turun, kemudian ambil bus menuju Larkin, ongkos bus sekitar RM1,2 u 1x jalan. Jd dr Zon menuju Larkin sekitar RM 2,4 u 1 org

ZON MALL jg ada Hotel d dlmnya

Dari Larkin kita bisa memilih bus menuju Kl,ada byk pilihan,tp yg bgs n on time biasanya causeaway…dg harga tiket RM 30/org dan kita bs bargain krn ada byk calo d sana…jd lsg sj k counternya..harga tiket u 3 org : RM 30 * 3.100 * 3 = Rp 279.000. Lamanya perjalanan berkisar antara 5-6 jam,dan tidak macet dan ada perhentian di rest area sekitar 2x. Karena kami di larkin sekitar jam 11.30, sdh dkt dg wktnya lunch jd kami makan dl d bgn blkg counter2. D sana ada Mc D jg ada warung2 makan dg byk pilihan…biaya makan kami wkt itu habis RM 20 = Rp 62.000.

Perhatikan bahwa bus2 tsb ada yg akan berhenti di terminal Puduraya (dkt dg tempat wisata spt Petaling Street, Bukit Bintang, Jl Alor, Mall2 di Bukit Bintang) dan ada yg akan berhenti di TBS ( Terminal Bersepadu Selatan)( dr sini,agak di luar kota,jd jk hndak k kota kt hrs naik LRT lg,tp gampang kok dan lbh rapi dan hanya sebentar nail LRTnya..sy srnkan jk hendak menginap di sekitar Petronas maka bs memilih berhenti d sini ). Karena kami hendak menginap di Bukit Bintang(BB),maka terminal yg dkt adalah Puduraya..dan bs berjln kaki menuju k BB,tp krn smpainya sdh jam 6 sore wkt malaysia dan kshan lht anakku sdh capek mk kami memakai LRT u k BB dg harga sekitar RM 1,2/org, krn glori msh kecil jd kami hny membyr 2 org sj…di sana sdh ada mesin pebayarannya spt di Sgp..hny sj mrk mengeluarkan koin dan bkn kartu..dan stlh smpai 7an..sblm keluar dr stasiun, koin kt tsb kt mskkan kembali (ada tempat pengembalian koinnya).

Ketika hendak kembali k Larkin,kami mencb pulang dr TBS dan sebenarnya terminal yg bgs adalah TBS krn sdh komputerisasi semua dan tdk ada calo dan bs pilih seat ,ckp menunjukkan pasport sj,dan di terminal sdh spt di airport, memakai AC, ada wifi, n ada KFC di lt 2 nya…sdgkan jk hendak naik bus kt hrs turun k lower groundnya..tp kt tdk akan tersesat krn ada petugas n ada byk penunjuk arah,asal kt memperhatikan bnr di tiket kt, kt naik di gate brp. Bus akan dtg on time.

Rencana menginap di Babylon Guest House, di daerah Bukit Bintang, jk dr LRT Bukit Bintang, kita ckp berjalan lurus k bwh, d sblh kiri, dg patokan di seberang jalan adalah KFC, lurus turun k bawah melewati jl alor ( Jk bingung bs bertanya k org2 dmn Jl Alor ). Dr Jln.Alor, lurus trs ( tdk ush belok k Jln Alor ) smpai persimpangan, belok kiri, kmdn ada belokan kiri pertama, hotelnya tepat berada di blkg rumah makan, dan di seberang jl adalah hotel besar. Harga 1 malamnya = Rp 192.859 pembulatan jd Rp 200.000, menyediakan sarapan berupa teh/kopi/susu,toast bread,telur rebus. Ada wifi di kamar,ber-AC n petugasnya ramah. Rencana di KL selama 3 hari 2 malam maka total biaya : Rp 200.000 * 2 malam = Rp 400.000. info hotel dpt dilht di Agoda hotel ( hny sbg perkiraan,jk kt tdk membeli scr ol, atau bs bk d google dan ketik nama hotelnya maka akan nampak webnya dan bs melht hrg yg sesungguhnya). Untungnya,di sekitar drh hotel ini ada halte bus HOHO shg tdk perlu repot2 u mencri2 lg. Dr persimpangan hotel tgl belok k kiri dan menemukan hny 1 halte dsana yaitu halte bus HOHO..hanya jam kedtgannya kdg agak telat 15 mnt dan masy dsana kurang tahu akan hal itu ( ketika sy cb bertanya2 kmrn,yg th malah satpam d sbh hotel ), di dkt hotel jg ada byk t4 makan,dkt dg jl.alor dan mini market dan mini market 7/11 ( seven eleven ) , kami membeli galon air ukuran kecil u minum slm 3 hari dsana dg harga RM 18 J

Rencananya mengelilingi Kl dg mengunakan bus HOHO, dengan harga tiket :

· Dewasa : RM 38 ( * Rp 3.100 * 2 orang ) = Rp 175.600

· Anak : RM 17 (* Rp 3.100 ) = Rp 52.700 +

Total = Rp 228.300,-
pembulatan jd : Rp 230.000

Keuntungan naik bus HOHO : bisa keseluruh tempat wisata termasuk tempat belanja souvenir,dan jk ingin berhenti di 1 t4 bs nantinya menaiki bus HOHO berikutnya tampa perlu membayar lagi karena tiket berlaku dari pagi jam 9 sampai malam jam 9, yg ptg tiket jgn hilang. Dan di dlm bus jg sdh menyediakan brosur dan peta t4 wisata yg akan dikunjungi sehingga kita tdk perlu pusing2 lg memikirkan hrs kmn dan tdk takut u tersesat lg…

Untuk urusan makan…di KL byk skali terdapat food court dan KFC, jd tdk ush takut lapar…di Mall Suria d lantai 1 jg ada food court dan KFC, di Jl Alor,pd malam hari ramai skali dg tenda2 makanan…dan ada penjual bakpia talas yg enak,bs u oleh2. Harga makanan juga bervariasi,tgl memilih sesuai budget. Jk hendak membeli oleh2 d Central Market atau d tempat2 lain selain makanan,pandai2lah menawar smpai ½ dr harga yg ditawarkan penjual.

Tempat2 7an wisata d Kl,bs lht di : City Trails - Walking Tours In Malaysia's Cities & Towns. Cukup lengkap panduan wisatanya termasuk cara menuju k sana.

Dari Bukit Bintang ke KLCC Mall via LRT :

Dari Bukit Bintang kita naik Monorail ke Bukit Nanas dengan harga RM 1.2 dan dari Statiun Monorail Bukit Nanas kita berjalan kaki sejauh 300 meter menuju ke statiun Dang Wangi untuk mendapatkan LRT (Aliran Kelana Jaya) dan dari LRT itu kita ambil tiket menuju ke KLCC dengan harga sekitar RM 1.4 jadi total biaya yang diperlukan sekitar RM 2.6.
