Miniland at Legoland Malaysia, Model Up Close: Taj Mahal of India




One structure I would really love to see is the Taj Mahal of India. It is widely considered as one of the most beautiful structure in the world.  Unfortunately even some of my Indian friends are telling me to be very careful when visiting the place, since the area is not safe according to them and validated with what I've been reading and hearing from travelers.  Well, for now this Taj Mahal masterpiece from Miniland of Legoland Malaysia provided me a bird's eye view of this glorious beauty! This is ok for now, but soon Taj Mahal... soon I will be seeing you with my naked eye. 


The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage" according to Wikepedia. In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.


This lego version of Taj Mahal is already a masterpiece by itself, one place you will surely enjoy during your visit. For more information about Legoland Malaysia and how to get there, please check my earlier post. Legoland Malaysia is the first one in Asia and 6th Legoland Park  in the world.

Miniland at Legoland Malaysia, Model up close: Pirate City

Included in the Miniland Section of Legoland, Malaysia are the icons of Asia, like Taj Mahal of India, Angkor Wat of Cambodia, Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur,  The Great Wall of China, Eye of Singapore, Merlion Park  and other key icons of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur International Airport,  Floating Temple of Myanmar, Putrajaya of Malaysia, Johor Bahru of Malaysia, Wat Arun of Thailand. Then in one section you will find these magnificent pirate ships, the question is, it represents what? During the time I went there, no caption or whatever form of explanation where visitors can know the significance of these ships in relation to other Lego models in Miniland. Nevertheless, you will still enjoy this area, the ships are moving, complete with sound and  visual effects. 
 

Let me share some of my photos:
