Going Places : Nightwalking in i-City, Shah Alam

Date of visit : 24th June 2011

Organized by : My housemates...

I have heard of i-City just a year ago. When people talked about i-City, it was always about show of lights and beautiful scenery at night. After a little bit of research on the internet, i-City is a city where the MSC (Multimedia Super Corridor) -Status companies resided. From my understanding, it is a city with the best office environment due to its highly advanced information and communication technology. You can read more about it here.

Well, i-City might be a buzzing cybercentre during the day, but at night time, it is a city of digital lights. Perhaps thousands of LED lights in many shapes and forms lighting the area in various colours. It is a beautiful sight to behold and a heaven for photographers, professional or not. Starting this year, visitors can also enjoy a snowy winter experience in its new 'Snowalk'. With an entrance fee of RM25 for adults and RM20 for children, senior citizens and disabled persons, you can enter the the snowy park with winter jackets provided. However the boots are for rental and if you do not wish to spend more RMs, it is advisable for you to wear your own shoes and not sandals inside there because it is so cold, the temperature is below 5°C. You can also use your RM10 parking ticket as a voucher for a reduced price to enter Snowalk. Inside the Snowalk, you can walk around the place full of carved ice and snowy grounds. You can also play the slides on ice.

Although we had a nice time walking around and enjoying the view, we weren't so pleased with our eating experience here. It was rather expensive, imagine ordering a simple hot lime juice for RM3.50 instead of RM1 or less in other place. And there's not so many eating place that open their service that night. You can only count on the sempoi sweet corns, or fried nuggets or things in the 7-Eleven if you need to snack on something while enjoying the night.

So, that was our first time experience in i-City. Now let's enjoy the photos that I managed to snap with my sempoi camera.
