- TejaKuala Lumpur, Malaysia151 contributionsThis is a Petronas-owned park open to the public located between the Twin Towers and the KL Convention Centre. A very popular park, it has running trails, a splashing pool, a children's playground, and a dancing fountain with lighted choreography at night. One end of the park connects to a mosque. There used to be fireworks for New Year's and major festivals before the pandemic, but since the pandemic and the advent of the energy transition, Petronas has been more frugal as they are working towards a net zero target, and there are no more fireworks.Written 22 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- RyuukenIrvine, CA53 contributionsMalayan Pewter, Selangor Pewter Malaya, Selangor Pewter Malaysia, Selangor Pewter, Royal Selangor Pewter - The evolution and history of what is today famously known as Royal Selangor is just some of the takeaways you will come to be familiar with after completing the guided tour at the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre. Tucked away in the suburbs of Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, this venue effecfively simultaneously achieves being a museum, a manufacturing factory, an exhibition centre and souvenir shop.
The interior is very well kept (including bathrooms) and our guided tour experience (which I highly recommend) led by the impressive Ravi left us with a deeper awareness of Royal Selangor's rich history and a great deal of appreciation for the level of craftsmanship that goes into their pewter products; the vast majority are molded and created by hand. Swing by on weekdays to see more of the factory in action.
With parking fees skyrocketing in shopping malls and crowd levels returning to pre-pandemic times, the Royal Selangor Visitor Centre is a fantastic alternative for both tourists and locals alike. The guided tour (or self guided if you prefer) and parking is free and the cafe inside serves up good food at reasonable prices.
Growing up in the 90s, the Royal Selangor brand was synonymous with pricey goods and the pride of the nation. Fast forward to today and upon spending time at the souvenir shop, you can definitely find many practical items at various price points. Pop culture based pewter such as Marvel, Harry Potter, Disney, Star Wars and others are definitely worth checking out while sister companies Comyns and Selberan cater to more upscale clientele.
As with most companies, I can't imagine how badly Royal Selangor was impacted by the pandemic and I hope they're able to find their feet again. With almost 150 years of history to their name, I hope this family owned business can still thrive and uphold their quality over time. This visitor center is a good way to showcase the best of Malaysia and exceeded my expectations. I'd easily recommend checking out this place.Written 30 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Bo RManila, Philippines914 contributionsLuxury brands in a luxury setting made shopping @Pavilion KL such a delightful experience.

as landmark of KL, many tourist take photos with background on itWritten 8 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Ainil IShah Alam246 contributionsIt is indeed a beautiful green garden. Despite few areas under maintenance, it is a good place to jog, walk and relax with family. To all malaysians, let's preserve our beautiful aset, help keep clean and tidy so that our future generation can also feel this beautiful experience. For those not keen to walk, you can take the buggy at RM 10 per person. The buggy driver (mamu) is awesome and sharing lots of information about the attractive areas.Written 5 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Christina SwiftKuala Ketil, Malaysia7 contributionsA beautifully decorated temple located on the hill. Thean Hou is among very few temples/pagodas in KL open late. The sunset over Thean Hou is impressive. We were on a slightly windy late afternoon with spectacular sunset. Afterward, all the lanterns were lit up. Stunning!!!Written 29 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

A great night in a lively safe areaWritten 25 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - 638JAVKuala Lumpur, Malaysia457 contributionsAfter many months of lockdown and no shopping we were delighted to have gone shoe shopping at Mid-Valley. I was very pleased with the strict SOP followed at each establishment that we went into. The personnel checking at the entrance of each shop helped me believe that we can slowly live with this and follow all that is necessary, safe and to get back our lives.Written 25 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Travels of JMalaysia50 contributionsThe Central Market is an eclectic mix of souvenirs, art everywhere you look and Batik all housed in a beautiful old building full of character.
Unfortunately due to covid there are a lot of empty shop fronts, however I am positive when international tourists return this place will bounce back to it's former glory.
