The buildings here are of European and American style, totally different to the modern high rises across the river.
But the buildings in Putong are just so cooooool!!
As part of the tourist trap that this area is there's a train ride under the river with a light show that looks very good on the posters. However the reality is not as exciting, the lights were pretty average.
With so much LED displays in the city it seemed a bit backwards to have an attraction that relied on so much neon. The pods that you travel in however are pretty cool, with turntable track at each end that rotates each pod around ready to travel back. We thought it so poor that we chose not to take the return journey even though we'd paid for it.
Instead we headed to a nearby mall (Grand Mall) and the food court for dinner. The whole floor was pretty vacant but I guess it was due to the time of night rather than the quality of the food. We had a good plate of pasta but were aware as we ate that places were being closed around us. It turned out that we were the last people on the floor and everything had closed, all except one shutter that was half open and that indicated the way to leave. So close to a lock in, what a China Crisis that would have been!
