Here are the
Top 10 best spots to view the fireworks around KL and PJ area for the 2010 New Year Countdown. From
Ampang Look Out Point, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa to Sunway Pyramid and Tropicana City Mall. Compiled by
KLUE and this might be a slightly long post but who cares when there's nice stuffs to share !! Here are the top spots in non-biased order.
(1) Ampang Look Out PointAmpang Lookout Point Has Panaromic View Of KL City for 2010 Countdown
This is the
perfect spot for a panoramic view of the
Kuala Lumpur City skyline. Both romantic and breathtaking, the road that leads up to this
little treasure is dark and winding, so be sure to
leave early in the evening so
you'd secure a parking spot. There are
restaurants up here such as
Gasoline, Haven, and the Bread and Olives Cafe where you can dine at with the best company, before
heading over to the hill-top tower to enjoy the
fireworks over the Petronas KLCC Twin Towers. Located in
Ampang, the
Look Out Point is a mere
20 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur City Centre for a beautiful escape.
Address Jalan Hulu Langat (B62), Ampang, Selangor.
(2) Tropicana City MallTropicana City Mall 1st 2010 New Year Countdown Gathering
The
brand, spanking new mall in the
heart of Petaling Jaya, which serves many of its
happy SS2, Damansara Utama and Damansara Jaya residents with its array of shops and cinema, will be celebrating
New Year 2010 with fireworks, live band performances, fire breathers, a samba percussion group and magicians. The activities will be
taking place at the entrance of the Mall and
starts at 8pm, so expect a
traffic jam along the NKVE which runs in front of it, as
passers-by will probably stop to watch the
fireworks.
Address Tropicana City Mall, No. 3, Jalan SS20/27, 47400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.(3) Sunway Pyramid Shopping MallScenic Nightview of Sunway Pyramid, Awesome Spot for 2010 Countdown
Subang peeps who are too
lazy to drive to KL city to party will settle for the
local mall's firework display which is pretty decent. Families can also
enjoy the explosive colours from their backyard or garden, especially those who
love having barbecue parties for the festivities. Precocious young adults can also
head to Euphoria by Ministry of Sound to boogie the night down, while
Bar Celona and the new Opera is within walking distance.
Address Sunway Pyramid, 15, Jalan PJS 11/24, Bandar Sunway, 46150 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.(4) City Walk @ i-City, Shah AlamIf
hearing motivational speeches which get you
prepped for the year ahead is your kinda thing, then welcome the
New Year with leaders Khalid Ibrahim and Teresa Kok. The event
begins at 5pm with Orang Asli and multicultural drum performances, and
later in the night, Selangor Menteri Besar will be
delivering a speech to usher in the new year. The night
comes to a close when the fireworks go off at the
stroke of midnight and everyone has a
warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Address City Walk @ i-City, Seksyen 7, Shah Alam.
(5) The CurveThe Curve Annual New Year Countdown Concert 2010
The
annual New Year's Countdown is not complete
with a concert held at the Curve, organised by Fly fm. Last year it was a
Masquerade Party, and this year we
will see hottie Faizal Tahir and local powerhouse Jaclyn Victor heat up the stage at 8pm. Roads will be closed to house
this event hosted by Joey G and model Kylie Chapman, so be sure to
get there early to avoid having to park by the roadside and
risk your car getting scratched.
Address 6, Jalan PJU 7/3, Mutiara Damansara, 47810 Petaling Jaya.(6) Bukit Gasing, Petaling JayaFor those of you
who are adventurous enough, take a
climb up Gasing Hill, one of the
last surviving green lungs in the Klang Valley. There is a dirt path which many residents take for their morning walks, though there is overgrowth, so it is best to don a comfortable pair of sneakers than just flip-flops. At the end of the path, there is a
little hut built on stilts where you can climb and take in the view of Old Klang Road and parts of the KL skyline, including the
Petronas Twin Towers. An alternative would be to drive up
Gasing Hill on one of the roads which will
lead you to a telecommunications tower, and there are benches for you to sit on. The view may
be blocked by a few trees, though.
(7) Jalan Bukit Pantai, BangsarThis
frequently travelled road is usually overlooked since cars just roll past without noticing, but there is a little spot along it which hosts the
prettiest framed sight of the KL skyline and on
New Year's Eve, you can park your car on the side of the road (make sure it doesn't obstruct traffic though), and walk down the
road from Pantai Towers to enjoy the fireworks. The
houses and condominiums in Bukit Pantai will also
have access to the view, thanks to the high point of their construction.
(8) ASEAN Sculpture Garden, Kuala LumpurNice view of KLCC and KL Tower
This garden,
located within Lake Gardens in KL, boasts
award-winning sculptures from Kuala Lumpur,
Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Brunei. The sculptures, mostly individual pieces, are magnificent and majestic. If you stand near the lake, you'll be able to see the
Petronas Twin Towers and KL Tower looming above the trees, so if
you're bold enough to go there at night alone, try this spot where
the grass is soft and you can sit all night having drinks.
(9) Bukit Permai, CherasBukit Permai Overlooking the KL City
This
look out point which is not as spectacular as the one in Ampang will do, for those who live around this residential area. During the
major celebrations like Merdeka and New Year's, many will crowd in this area to
watch the fireworks over Kuala Lumpur. This
not-so-cosy little nook is
dubbed 'Little Genting', and is
nestled within a labyrinth of houses so be sure to check out the map before you set out on your journey.
(10) Taman Tasik TitiwangsaPreview of fireworks In Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
An
urban retreat for those who want to jog around the lake in the middle of it,
go canoeing or just lie on the lawn to soak up the fresh air, this
park is a household name for those who live in KL. If you want to
watch the fireworks along with countless strangers and children, this is the place to be.
Address Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Jalan Kuantan, Kuala Lumpur.
