A capital place for sightseeing

Food and drinks stalls are available at Gemilang Square if you want to have a picnic. Get a bird's eye view of Putrajaya during the International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta this month. Children having a splashing time at Gemilang Square in Precinct 4.

Being based in Putrajaya, I often drive along its scenic bridges, past the beautiful architectural landmarks while attending one of the major events held here such as the annual International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.

However, when I tell my friends about visiting Putrajaya, most of them would say things like, “It is too far away”, “What is there to do?” “Isn’t it filled with just government buildings?” and the most common, “It is a dead place after 5pm and during weekends”.
