The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur were once the tallest skyscrapers in the world and are still the tallest twin towers in the world and the sixteenth tallest building in the world. Located in the northwest corner of the Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC) planning area for short, it belongs to the first phase of the planning area.
The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur is 452 meters high, with a total of 88 floors above the ground. The building designed by American architect Cesar Pelli uses a large number of materials such as stainless steel and glass on the surface. The Petronas Twin Towers and the neighboring Kuala Lumpur Tower are both well-known landmarks and symbols of Kuala Lumpur.

The project started on December 27, 1993, was officially capped on February 13, 1996, and was officially completed in 1998. It was built by Petronas Malaysia with 2 billion MYR. One is for the office of Petronas, and the other is a leased office building. There is a sky bridge between the 40th and 41st floors to facilitate the communication between buildings. The building is easily visible from anywhere in Kuala Lumpur. The building is very spectacular, like two tall spiers piercing the sky.
Completed in 1998, the twin-tower building has 88 floors and a height of 1,483 feet (452 ​​meters). It is two independent towers connected by a podium. Between the 41st and 42nd floors of the two main buildings, there is a sky bridge with a length of 58.4 meters and a height of 170 meters above the ground. The independent tower looks like two huge corns, so it is also called Twin Peaks Building.
