In Kuala Lumpur it is easy to overlook the blend of Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures and the corresponding traditional and colonial architectural treasures. With Chin Kon Yit's artist's eye and architect Chen Voon Fee as a guide, this book will lead you through the riches that remain and expose the city's unique character. Over 100 watercolor paintings and 50 sketches depict the city's grandest buildings, humblest shops, and typical street scenes. After a historical survey of the founding of Kuala Lumpur, complete with maps and nostalgic views, seven chapters view the city's main districts.
