According to The Star, Putrajaya Corporation president Datuk Muhammad Azmi Mohd Zain shared that the idea behind the steps was to boost the city's tourism industry by enhancing the administrative capital.
“We hope our Putrajaya steps will be comparable with other iconic steps in the world, namely Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy; the steps in Baha’i Gardens in Haifa, Israel; and Potemkin Stairs in Odesa, Ukraine."
The gardened-themed attraction will have colourful trees and shrubs planted along the steps including pink tecoma trees, bougainvillea and hanging plotted plants such as petunias. Plus, the area will feature several food kiosks too so visitors can look forward to yummy eats while enjoying the scenery here.
With 80% of the stairs completed, the project is set to open very soon! While we wait for the official news, check out these other spots in KL for you to explore in the meantime:
