Shah Alam [1] is the state capital of Selangor, Malaysia.

[edit] Get in

Shah Alam is about 20 kilometers west of Kuala Lumpur and a part of the urban sprawl of Klang Valley. The KTM Komuter line from Kuala Lumpur to Klang stops in Shah Alam, but the station is not particularly conveniently located. RapidKL provides bus service route number 63 and 338 from Kuala Lumpur to central region of Shah Alam city. There are other bus routes to various areas in Shah Alam. Check out www.rapidkl.com.my

[edit] Get around

Mini bus service from Shah Alam Kommuter station to Section 16, 17, Kompleks PKNS and Wet World.

[edit] See

• Shah Alam Mosque. Formally the Sultan Salahuddin Mosque and also known as the Blue Mosque, this striking but modern mosque is one of Malaysia's largest and arguably one of the most beautiful.
• Shah Alam lake gardens. Built around an artifical lake.
• Agricultural Park (Taman Pertanian). Spend a few enjoyable hours at the Agricultural Park. There is a mini zoo within the park. You can also rent bicycles and even horses (for riding lessons). The park also has a "four seasons" building in which the seasons are simulated (one season at a time).
• Selangor State Assembly Building. This building looks somewhat like a towering spaceship. The Tugu Negri (State Monument) is located nearby.
• Sultan of Selangor's palace. This building is located on a hill with a wonderful view of Shah Alam.

Eat 'Ikan Bakar' (grilled fish)in medan selera at Section 2, in front of Shah Alam waterpark. Very delicious and very cheap. Come early or you will not get any. Try also various Mamak's restaurants around Section 7. They are generally clean, with a variety of food to choose from and very comfortable. Watch televised football matches here.
