Updated with map Checkout the Look Out Point at Ampang, the latest and coolest place to catch a bird’s eye view of the city. Situated 10 km away from Ampang town, it sits on a slope along the winding road of the Pekan Batu 14-Ampang trunk road. Sometimes it can be pretty cold at night.

Though it was just newly launched early this year, the Look Out Point has already begun to slowly but surely pick up in its popularity. Families and lovebirds hang out at the Look Out Point; some for a brisk upward climb to its observation tower (Menara Tinjau) where you can have a tremendous view of the Kuala Lumpur city. There, viewers can catch a breath-taking view of the entire landscape with unmistakeable landmarks from Menara Telekom in Petaling Jaya to KL Tower, to Petronas Twin Tower.

There is also an interesting mini bird park on the other side of the Look Out Point, truly a place that nature lovers out there should not miss.

There is also dining place to have a coffee break called Kopitiam Rimba: Brother Joul’s at the entrance of the look out point. They serve nostalgic food such as steamed bread, toasted bread, and steamed sweet potato.

A perfect place to unwind and breakaway from the hustle and bustle of the city; without having to leave the city!

Main entrance gate to go up to Look Out Point, the road is quite steep, watch out!

Stairs climb up to observation tower, glad its not as high as Batu Caves stairs.

One of the main hall, still empty but looks like going to be a restaurant setup there.

Another observation area below the main hall, nice view!
