Get your phones out as you go around Kuala Lumpur to get the best shots the city has to offer.

Noting the race to have most envy-worthy Instagram feed amongst travel addicts, London transport company Hoppa conducted research ranking cities of the world for being most popular on Instagram. And surprise surprise, Kuala Lumpur made it to the ‘Top 50 Instagram Destinations’ at the 39^thplace.

Kuala Lumpur also placed fourth as a city with the most Insta-worthy scenery. Ahead of it were cities like Santiago, Chile, followed by Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Kiev, Ukraine. Kuala Lumpur beat out other popular destinations like Phuket, Thailand and Cape Town, South Africa.

We took the liberty scouring for the most Insta-worthy sceneries in Kuala Lumpur. If we don’t appreciate our city, who will?
