Kuala Lumpur- the melting pot of cultural festivals.
Dazzling festivals and celebrations throughout the year.Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia’s multicultural hot spot, with a collection of Muslim, Hindu and many other religious beliefs. With easy access to Kuala Lumpur from London Gatwick, you will soon find yourself immersed in various festivals and celebrations throughout the year. The Chinese New Year celebrations take place in January and you will be dazzled by the fantastic array of colour, culture and festivities. Each February, the residents celebrate their City Day, turning the entire area into a place of festivities for people of all ages, beliefs and nationalities. The National Day for Kuala Lumpur is in August, when proud residents celebrate their country with extraordinary performances and exciting events in the city's Independence Square.
If you are interested in plants and gardens then head to The Flora Festival, during which the city is swathed in beautiful and exquisite flowers. The streets, shopping malls and hotels all get involved, so you are sure to see this spectacular event wherever you are staying.
November and December are particularly interesting months to visit Kuala Lumpur, due to Deepavali, the Hindu festival of lights and the Christmas celebrations in December. Deepavali is a glittering and astounding display of lights, which Hindus believe illustrates the power of good over evil. During this period, the city looks particularly splendid at night; it is a not to be missed time of year. During December expect to see and hear lots of carol singers, especially in the shopping malls, while everywhere is decked out with beautiful and festive decorations. All over the city, Mass is held in churches as this religious event is celebrated by the Christian population.
