Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, Malaysia

This station, designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, was completed in 1917. Kuala Lumpur Railway Station, built in an eclectic Neo-Moorish/Mughal/Indo-Saracenic style, brims with design elements from both East and West. It's difficult to believe it's a railway station because it looks more like a palace. With the opening of the new Kuala Lumpur Central Station, this station is no longer as prominent in terms of commuters, but it still attracts a large number of visitors due to its beauty.

A fantastical collection of minarets, dome-topped pavilions, and articulated arches, Malaysia is a neo-Moorish delight. The magnificent white-and-cream Anglo-Asian station, which is now more of a hub for commuters than tourists, is still worth a visit.

Sadly, Kuala Lumpur Sentral has become somewhat of a backwater as a result of the city's other station receiving all long-distance and intercity rail traffic. There is no prettier sight in Kuala Lumpur than when dusk falls and swifts dart among its domes and minarets.
