Merdeka Square
Dataran Merdeka occupies a very significant place in Malaysian history. At the peak of its popularity in colonial times, it was a central gathering point for the British; it was also a cricket green. Previously, it was known as the Selangor Club Padang. Like many historic sites around the country, the structures around Dataran Merdeka bear traces of its past, and especially the colonial presence.

Selangor Club is located at one corner of the square, and was formerly a social gathering place for British residents. Its Tudor-style architecture is interesting and adds character to the square. Close by is the neo-Gothic church of St Mary's Cathedral, which is more than 100 years old.

This 100-acre site stands out in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle was completed in 1997 at a whopping cost of US$1.2 billion and rising to 1,484 ft (451.9m).

At the foot of the towers, one may experience the luxurious facilities of shopping at the Suria KLCC shopping centre.

Transformed into an exotic playground for the elite, SGCC, one of the 100 best golf resorts in the world, is the country's most prestigious and expensive golf resort. It is part of a 162-hectare leisure resort encompassing a deluxe hotel, multi-sports facilities and a clubhouse. There are two 18-hole courses, the Palm Course and the Bunga Raya Course.
