Ampang

Ampany is a city in the State of Selangor, Malaysia.  Ampang was the Home of the Millionaires -What happened to the tin barons who got rich from the mineral that made KL? The Kapitan Cina's considerable fortune and power lasted less than three generations, but others proved smarter and lived within their means. The Ampang enclave hides a precious cache of private residences where the moneymen once lived and still live. Some of these architectural marvels serve as glimmering veneers of cool and clever enterprises, and conceal several of the city's best-kept secrets.  As for the old footpath to the Ampang tin mines, the evolved Jalan Ampang is now lavishly adorned with eateries and merry-making joints of tantalising varieties, seamlessly blending with and into the adjacent necessary instruments of commerce--the high-rise office blocks, hotels, foreign embassies and political offices.  The nearest train station is Ampang Park Putra LRT (Light Rail Transport) Station.
