• Jalan Tun Perak eventually leads you into Jalan Parlimen, where the scenery begins to change.
• The road widens, traffic thins, and greenery starts to appear as you edge closer to the Perdana Botanical Gardens area.
• The transition from concrete to canopy is gradual but refreshing.

✨ Closing Thought
This route is straightforward yet rewarding: from the energy of Jalan Tun Perak to the calm of Jalan Parlimen, ending at one of Malaysia’s most symbolic landmarks. It’s a walk that blends the everyday life of Kuala Lumpur with its history and heritage.

The Tugu Negara is a national monument that commemorates those who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, principally against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency, which lasted from 1948 until 1960. It is located in the Federal capital, Kuala Lumpur. #wikipedia
