Go around the observation deck and slowly enjoy the city view of Kuala Lumpur. There is one place where you can see the monorail passing through the corner. It is very special. If you don't want to walk uphill to the Kuala Lumpur Tower, I really recommend taking Grab. It is not expensive and is not expensive. Tired, more relaxed travel.

I recently bought mooncakes from Lady Yi Tea House at Four Points by Sheraton, and the experience was eay going. Only 6 flavours to choose from, I saved a lot of time making my decision. The navy blue packaging looked classy which made for a lovely gift. I hope my elders love the mooncake as it is from a well known brand 👍🏻
