About River of Life Kuala Lumpur
River of Life Kuala Lumpur is an urban riverfront revitalization project at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers in central Kuala Lumpur, adjacent to Masjid Jamek. Launched in 2011, it transformed the historic birthplace of the city into a waterfront promenade with illuminated walkways, river beautification, and the Blue Pool. Notable for its nightly Dancing Symphony light, sound and water show, it combines heritage, urban renewal and night-time sightseeing in the city centre.
