Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM)

Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) was established in 1929. It is not just an institute but a sprawling, rolling forest and a well-managed forest science park. The park is located in Kepong, approx. 16 km from Kuala Lumpur. It is home to a rich variety of flora and plants. A highlight of the park is the canopy walk, which is approx. 200 m long, offering the experience of walking among the treetops while taking in views of the forest and Kuala Lumpur. There is also a waterfall where children can splash around. Strolling along the nature trails feels like an adventure and will broaden your horizons. The park also features a museum that showcases various tree species, with detailed explanations of their uses and products made from them. Every morning, many locals come here for morning exercises, cycling, and more, making it an ideal place to relax and unwind.

Putra Mosque

Putra Mosque is also known as the "Floating Mosque" because about three-quarters of the building extends over Putrajaya Lake. The exterior is predominantly pink, constructed largely from rose-colored granite, and features nine domes. Construction began in 1997, and it can accommodate over 10,000 worshippers at once, making it one of the most recognizable landmarks in Putrajaya. The mosque consists mainly of three parts: the prayer hall, the courtyard, and the learning and functional spaces. The roof of the prayer hall resembles an open umbrella, composed of 49 domes of varying sizes arranged in a radial pattern, with a design inspired by Islamic architectural traditions. The minaret next to the mosque is tall and slender, with a rocket-shaped spire, and is equipped with elevators and stairs to reach the top. The entire mosque is designed to take full advantage of natural ventilation from the lake, with lake breezes passing through the corridors and vertical grilles to keep the interior cool. Viewed from the opposite shore, the pink domes and their reflection in the lake create a picturesque scene.
