Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve (GPS: 3.151, 101.70207) is the only protected forest area within the heart of Kuala Lumpur. It covers Bukit Nanas, a hillock within the city which is bounded by Jalan Ampang and Jalan Sultan Ismail on the northern side, Jalan P. Ramlee on the eastern side, Jalan Gereja on the western side and Jalan Raja Chulan on the southern side. Jalan Puncak leads up to the top of the hill while Jalan Bukit Nanas is a hill road along its side. The forest reserve has a forestry museum and visitor centre to learn more about the rain forest.
Today Bukit Nanas is topped with the Kuala Lumpur Tower. It has an observation deck and revolving restaurant at the top. Also situated on Bukit Nanas are St John's Institution and Convent Bukit Nanas, two schools established during the British colonial era. St John's Institution is gazetted as a National Heritage Site.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
