Once upon a time, the confluence of two rivers, Gombak and Klang flooded a whole city with muddy water. Ever since then the city has been named Kuala Lumpur which means a muddy confluence. Kuala Lumpur is not just a crossing point for rivers but people too. Kuala Lumpur's spot on the ancient spice route made it a melting pot of cultures. It became the point where the East met the West.
Indians, Chinese and Malays have lived here for generations peacefully. Kuala Lumpur is a city shaped by its diversity. It is a shapeshifting city that is getting glitzy with its modern skyscrapers.
