Putrajaya is a new smart city which is located about 30 minutes from Kuala Lumpur city center. It has a highly organized urban planning, and it is consider as an intelligent city within a green park. The city council has implement many good methods to maintain it as a echo-friendly city. Putrajaya now serves as Malaysia administrative center due to the overcrowding and congestion in the city center area. Many tourists came here to see the architectures and the landscapes of the surrounding area.

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary July 2007

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary was established in 1989 and since then it has been more and more attractive to many visitors from all over the world, who want to learn a bit about this loving and intelligent mammal. This sanctuary is managed by Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks and all the workers here are well trained. The sanctuary is located about 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur and visitors can also reach this sanctuary by using the public transport. It is really worth a visit if you are in Malaysia. So let us support, protect, and help this gentle giant to live freely in the wild!

Sungai Congkak, Selangor, Malaysia 2007

Sungai Congkak is located just outside of Kuala Lumpur in the little municipal town call Hulu Langat. It is a perfect retreat for city folks who want to enjoy the breezy/cool air, lush green area and the refreshing and cooling river water. Along the scenic river, visitors can see abundant stalls selling food and beverages and other knick-knacks for the 'typical' city folks.

We found this empty, old and shabby picnic shelter which is just perfect to blend in with the nature.

This is so not city folks. They just couldn't wait to jump in the river. Splashhhhhh!!!!
