Kuala Lumpur Tower

Kuala Lumpur Tower (Menara Kuala Lumpur, colloquially KL Tower) is a 421-metre-tall telecommunication and observation tower on Bukit Nanas in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Completed on 13 September 1994 and opened to the public on 23 July 1996, it is the seventh-tallest telecommunication tower in the world and was briefly Malaysia's tallest structure until the Petronas Twin Towers surpassed it. Visitors reach the public observation platform at 276 metres - the highest public viewpoint in the city - by a 54-second elevator ride; the tower also has a revolving restaurant and serves as an Islamic falak observatory for sighting the crescent moon that marks Ramadan and Muslim festivals.
