A small city with a lot to offer, Petaling Jaya is home to a few unique museums, good shopping, and the famous Sunway Lagoon.
Petaling Jaya (Commonly called "PJ" by locals) is a major Malaysian city originally developed as a satellite township for Kuala Lumpur.
Petaling Jaya is surrounded by the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur to the east, Sungai Buloh to the north, the capital of Selangor, Shah Alam to the west and Subang Jaya to the south.
Damansara is the main shopping hub of Petaling Jaya with many of the city's shopping malls being located there.
