Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife on the nature trails. Then enjoy a bird's-eye-view of the trees by crossing the Canopy Walkway. This unique conservation facility is located 20 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur.

Johnson, our guide, was very knowledgeable and interesting, explaining all about seed dispersal, plant species, rainforest ecology and the local history of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM). The hike was great (although definitely bring mosquito repellant and wear long clothing and hiking boots for protection) and we learned a lot about the different species of trees and that the FRIM is a completely man-made rejuvenated forest of over 1,500 acres which used to be open-cut tin mines. Our favourite part of the hike was observing the "Crown Shyness" - a beautiful mosaic caused by a mysterious natural phenomenon where the leaves of the canopy layers "shy" away from each other. You need to book a guide in advance if you want this experience. We also did Batu Caves in the morning and then tagged on FRIM in the afternoon which is doable for a whole day trip.

Reviewed By georgiovalentino - Hyderabad, India
It is located on the top floor of 1 Utama shopping mall and it has a huge collection of plants and flowers. I visited it along with a friend in the afternoon and it was hot, so could not explore it fully. It's better to go there in the evening. There is no entrance fee but there are very few visitors inside when we went there.

An eco and lifestyle mall located in Damansara Uptown.
Reviewed By tigertw - Hong Kong, China
I was recommended to stay at the Somerset Damansara Uptown in Petaling Jaya about a year ago. The accommodation turned out to be very good but what was even better was the discovery of “Foodies Nest” on the 3/F of the property which forms a part of the Starling Mall. If you’re a connoisseur of local Malaysian food, look no farther than the “Foodies Mall” and many varied dining establishments within and Ed without this Mall !!! My experience is I inevitably find it very hard to tear myself away from eating places like “Foodies Nest” as the offerings there are varied, reasonably priced, delicious and clean !!! “Foodies Nest” and other dining spots in the Starling are highly recommended !!!
9. Amcorp Mall

Reviewed By kitaroony - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Why would you even rate a mall you might ask? Well, Amcorp Mall is a surreal kind of place, just off Taman Jaya Station, the whole place feels like it's not complete, almost abandoned because everything is sparse here. The shops in Amcorp mall is pretty select: all kinds of collectibles, especially toys and figurines, vinyl records, antiques, and my favourite bookshop in KL is here, out of all places. The mamak food in this place is also decent. Every Sunday Amcorp Mall hosts a flea market, which is unmissable for visitors. This is the best place to get a souvenir. CDs, cassettes, books, bric-a-bracs are sold here, sometimes in the same stall as someone selling an "antique" machete. Yeah, like I said, surreal, and unmissable. Come a little later on Sunday, about 11am. If you come too early, the stalls won't be open. Head straight to the basement and cover every corner.
