Menara Taming Sari



Last weekend, me and some friends stopped by the famed Taming Sari Tower(Menara Taming Sari). Well it's name is not so famous, cos most people refer it as "Nehh... that rotating tower near Dataran Pahlawan."


Taming Sari Tower.

It's called Taming Sari after the Keris wielded by Hang Tuah. Legend has it that Hang Tuah fought a warrior from Majapahit called Taming Sari. After winning the fight, the keris that Taming Sari possess is given to Hang Tuah; the keris has the same name as it's original owner.


Hmmm... It does look like a Keris.

The entrance fee is:
Adult: RM20
Children:RM10

When you get 10 students with student IDs, you have a special students' rate of RM10 per person.



In comparison,
Eye of Malaysia: RM15 (with fireworks display)
Eye of Melaka: RM5 (goes 3 rounds)

After considerations, we didn't went up the tower. So not worth it! Ironically, we saw many people queuing up for tickets.

Note: The ride lasts about 8mins.
