(lit. National Stadium)
Malaya's first sheltered stadium, it was built in the 1960s to somewhat complement the adjacent Merdeka Stadium.
SMK Victoria
Though not exactly a tourist spot, this school, easily recognisable by its clock tower on its main block, is the oldest existing operational public school in Kuala Lumpur, having been founded in 1893 and relocated to its present site in 1929. Named after the reigning British queen during its founding, the all-boys school had produced its share of celebrities that had contributed to the country in various fields.
(lit. Independence Stadium)
Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed the independence of the Federation of Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia) from British rule here on 31 August 1957. In fact, the stadium was purpose-built for that occasion. It was a public park, known as Coronation Park during the 1930s. The stadium was Malaysia's main national stadium until 1998, when it was relocated to Bukit Jalil National Stadium, in time for that year's Commonwealth Games.
A 118-storey skyscraper completed in 2023. At 680 m, it is the tallest building in Southeast Asia, and the second tallest building in the world, as of Feb 2024. There are offices and a Park Hyatt hotel in the superstructure and an observation deck at the top is also being set up. A mall at the base of the tower is still under construction, scheduled to open in 2026.
(精武體育館)
Not quite a stadium, but more of a sports hall/badminton court and community centre for the local Chinese community. Do check out its public pool. Managed by the Chin Woo Athletic Association, founded by Chinese martial arts master Huo Yuanjia (remember the 2006 Jet Li film).
The clan house (kongsi) of the Chen (陳) family, this is the largest and oldest in KL, with the present version completed in 1906.
