There are 42 gondolas on the Eye on Malaysia and each ride is about 15 minutes for 6 full rounds.

The tickets is RM15 for adult and RM8 for Child.

The loading however was pretty quick since they are able to load up to 8 persons into each of the 3 cabs simultaneously.

The cabs were also air-conditioned so that definitely helps during hot sunny days! The were also speakers in the cab playing the Visit Malaysia Theme Song

The Wheel open at 10:00 am . By the time we arrived at 12:00 noon, there were may people but not crowded. Every one lined up for the tickets. Because not many visitors, we have a whole cab for our family of 4.

The view from the top was great even though the sky was overcast.

We could see Twin Towers from up there and we also got a good overall view of Lake Titiwangsa.

The view from Eye on Malaysia is lovely. You can see across the serene lake all the way till Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower, but a bit blurry due to the bad weather.

From top of the wheel - a breath-taking view of the Kuala Lumpur skyline against a groom overcast.!

KL was overcast during our trip.

The blue building on the right is Istana Budaya (The Palace of Culture). This theatre is the cultural centre of Malaysia with various classical concerts and opera held here.

Around 1:00pm the ride ended and as we walked toward to bus stop to wait for the HOP ON bus. it came at the right moment.

The journey back to our hotel in China Town is a slow and time consuming on the busy road of KL City. The weather was also no fine. As you can see the above and below photos, the sky was gray. KL lost much of her color and beauty under a moody gray shy.

It took us more than an hour on the tour bus to travel from Eye On Malaysia to Times Square because of traffic jam. By 2:20pm we saw this tall and magnificent building of Times Squares (photo below)

Berjaya Times Square is the largest shopping mall in Malaysia with 3,450,000 square feet providing more than 700 shops. This huge building housing the biggest Borders Bookstore, Metrojaya Department Store, Cold Storage Supermarket, Ampang Superbowl and the largest IMAX Theatre in South East Asia.

More about Berjaya Times Square...

The HOP ON Stop number 6 is just beside this Time Square and the bus stopped for several minutes here. Half of the passengers got down here. We did not visit this largest shopping mall in Malaysia as we have a tight schedule. We leave this mall for explore the next time we come to KL.

3:00 PM We are back to hotel room from Eye On Malaysia using HOP-ON HOP OFF BUS. Tonight we will go to Mid Valley Mega Mall. For now we have some time to shop around in Petaling Street.

People of all races and tourists flocking to this area from afternoon till late night. Visitors traveling on buses and taxis around Kuala Lumpur are bound to pass by this busy street, and thereby, a glimpse of Petaling Street.

We left the 2 children in the hotel room as kids will be swept up by the massive crowd of shoppers perusing each stall in the narrow street. Here is not an atmosphere for me but enjoy being dazzled by the array of items on sale, as well as feasting on the delightful local food served.

Bask in its atmosphere of noise and colors, enjoy the culinary delights on offer, and shop for amazing things. This is the cultural experience of Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
