A residential city that sprung out only in modern times to meet an overgrowing population spilling out from Kuala Lumpur, PJ does not have possess rich historical heritage or cultural wonders, but its appeal lies with contemporary attractions, such as colourful theme parks, cosmopolitan nightspots and massive shopping malls (including the country's largest - 1 Utama).
These form the bulk of tourist destinations available around town, but there are still nature spots and parks to be explored in the outskirts. Thanks to a good connection by bus, train and highways, it's easy to commute to other authentic sights at KL or those within the state boundaries of Selangor - all while staying in the comforts of abundant hotels that suit a wide range of budgets.
