Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur

Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur (11 July, 2016)

Jalan Ampang is one of the main roads in Kuala Lumpur. It is also one of the oldest and longest roads in the city, having been around since the earliest days that Kuala Lumpur was established. Jalan Ampang was the route taken by the early miners to open up the tin mines in Ampang.

Jalan Ampang roughly follows the course of the Klang River. It starts at the junction with Jalan Gereja and ends in Selangor, at the junction with Jalan Taman Putra, beyond which lies Jalan Bukit Belacan.

Jalan Ampang was originally known as Ampang Road. It has been around since the early 1880s¹. It another word for empangan, meaning dam, in reference to the dams built by the early tin miners in the area. Today Jalan Ampang is nothing like what it was in the late 19th century, when it was a mere laterite road leading through a denuded terrain of tin mines. It is one of the main roads in downtown Kuala Lumpur, and passes on the northern side of KLCC.

In order to cover this road in detail, I shall describe the Jalan Ampang in Selangor on a separate page, with a separate map. I will list down the various sights along Jalan Ampang all the way till the Selangor border, with the first property on Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, bearing the number of 1-3, belonging to Property Auction House Sdn Bhd.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
