▲ Putra Mosque, commonly known as the Rose Mosque, Pink Mosque, or Water Mosque, is a mosque in Putrajaya, the administrative capital of Malaysia, located beside Putrajaya Lake. It is adjacent to the Perdana Putra (Prime Minister's Office) and Putra Square. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later, with a total cost of 250 million Malaysian ringgit. The mosque features pink exterior walls, nine domes, and a 116m-high minaret, with a capacity to accommodate 15,000 worshippers.
▲ The Prime Minister's Office is the administrative and executive building for the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, Ministers in the Prime Minister's Department, and Deputy Ministers. Constructed in 1997, it stands atop a hill in Putrajaya overlooking Putrajaya Lake, with its office complex blending unique architectural styles of Malay, European, and Islamic influences. The terracotta-colored building with its distinctive green dome has become an iconic landmark of Putrajaya.

▲ Built in 1897, the Sultan Abdul Samad Building is the most important landmark in Kuala Lumpur's Old Town and served as the administrative center during the British colonial period.

▲ When visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, there's one attraction you can't miss - the iconic Petronas Twin Towers. Standing at 451.9 meters tall with 88 floors, these twin towers remain the world's tallest twin towers and a landmark of Kuala Lumpur.
▲ In the early days, Kapitan Yap Ah Loy of Kuala Lumpur established a tapioca processing factory on Petaling Street, at the current location of Hong Leong Bank, to grind tapioca (cassava) flour for export. The business failed and closed two years later, leading the local Chinese community to commonly refer to this street as "Chee Chong Kai" (Tapioca Factory Street). In 1888, the construction of Central Market (now known as Central Art Market) spurred commercial activity in the area, attracting many businesses to relocate nearby. At that time, a********shelter stood in front of the present-day Chan She Shu Yuen Clan Association, accommodating newly arrived laborers from China. Before being recruited by mine owners to work in the mining areas, these laborers often moved around Chee Chong Kai, contributing to the street's bustling atmosphere.
