Shallow Alam is the capital of Selangor, who is officially the Sultanat and rules them the real Sultan Sharafutdin Idris. In Malaysia itself, the city is known to a greater degree of Blue Mosque and as the center of the automotive industry, the Proton plant is located here.
At the factory of interest to come, of course, there is no, but the mosque deserves it completely. Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque, called Blue because of the color of his dome, minarets and finishing elements, the largest mosque in the country and the second in all Southeast Asia. Getting out of Kuala Lumpur is more convenient than the train (KTM) 5.30 Rm ($ 1.7) in one direction per one, go about an hour. In the city, the train makes three stops, you need to go to the Shah Alam eponymous. Public transport is officially there, but it is difficult to find it. At the station only a taxi. Before the mosque in the counter 8 Rm. Entrance in fitting clothes with closed hands and legs, women only in scarves. By a mosque on a weekday will hold a caretaker and tell a lot of interesting things about Islam and about the mosque itself. Very positive person and a fascinating narrator. Money for it does not take. Inside, everything, as in other temples, purely, quietly and calmly. We did not see the weekend of the caretaker, but there were many women with children who simply communicated. Men at this time were on prayer. Next to the mosque is a small park with a stream and madrasa. For minutes at 40 unhightened walking, there is a city park "Taman Rekreasi Permai", I highly recommend entering here before leaving, pond, benches and island with birds in the heat. On the territory of the park of the Museum of Contemporary Art. When there was a lunch, and nor visitors, nor employees, but everything was open. We went. Everyone looked, closed the door and gone. Very unusual impression.
They also returned by taxi, and also in the counter this time truth for 6.50 Rm. At the visit I think there is enough half a day. Get convenient and visit.
