Eco Forest One Day Trip

Have you heard of the Eco Forest in the heart of Kuala Lumpur? (Formerly known as Hutan Simpan Bukit Nanas)
I only got to know about it recently
And it shocked me that the city centre of KL actually has a forest?!
This is the entrance that we entered from
We took the monorail to Station Bukit Nanas
Once you walk out from the station
You will see this sign
Just follow it
There are actually 2 routes (one from Jalan Ampang and the other one from Jalan Raja Chulan)
If you follow the Jalan Ampang route
You will need to hike for approx 20-30 minutes in the Canopy Walk depending on your speed
It was quite an easy hike
But lesser people
The Raja Chulan route is the nearest to the suspension bridge
So if you just want to grab some nice Instagrammable pictures
It is better to go to the Raja Chulan route

Immersing ourselves in the forest
There were actually very few people using this route
So it is better to come in a bigger group of people
And remember to bring mosquito repellent
The suspension bridge!
This is where we walked out
Once we walked out
We saw the huge and tall KL Tower right in front of us
Was thinking to enter, but saw the price not so worth it
So just watched it from far enough dy

We ended up inside the KL Tower
I have been living in this city for more than 20 years
But I felt like I have never gotten to know more about this city until this day
Being a tourist in a city that I thought I was familiar with
Gave me a different feeling
I thought
KL was so beautiful
Why hadn't I realized this?
Location: KL Forest Eco Park, Lot 240, Jalan Raja Chulan, Bukit Kewangan, 50250 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
