"Understand", "Get around" sections, style
[edit]If there's anything relevant to the history of KL that's not in the Kuala Lumpur article, it should be merged to Kuala Lumpur#Understand. Whatever is here has to be specifically, explicitly and only about Diamond Triangle.
"Get around" is only about how to travel around the area covered in the article. Right now, nothing that's in the "Get around" section of this article is relevant to that or should be there.
The other thing that seems to abound in this article is purple prose out of keeping with Wikivoyage style, which should be colorful but shouldn't read like a tourism bureau brochure. I'll cite some examples:
Kuala Lumpur is the heartbeat of Malaysia, full of history, nature, and culture, and at the Diamond Triangle, there’s so much to see, do, embrace, and learn
I think it would be better to shorten this intro, because it's not very informative but is more in the nature of a tout.
Creativity and the arts are abundant in the Diamond Triangle, where one can unleash their artistic skills, or embrace the arts scene and be one with the community. The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre @ KLPAC has marked its place in the history books as the country’s first fully-integrated arts centre. An arts and cultural icon, a historical landmark, and an award-winning architectural design, come to KLPAC where the arts and theatre scene is alive and well.
You might want to look at Wikivoyage:Words to avoid, but in any case, I don't think most travelers are going to unleash their artistic skills unless they were booked for a concert tour in advance. And what's a fully-integrated arts centre? I'm a musician and composer and son of a painter, and I don't know. And if you're going to mention that it got an award, who gave the award and who was the architect?
KL is a true shopper’s paradise
On this site, "paradise" is used only for Heaven (in other words, not used).
Finally, after all this gushing, we come to the "Eat" section, where you make this statement:
All Malaysians are passionate about food, especially local and traditional cuisine, having inherited an array of cuisines from its melting pot of cultures. At the Diamond Triangle, the choices are abundant. When you’re here, you’ll definitely feel like you’re in flavour town, as you enjoy unique flavours such as naan and nasi kandar. Flavours from many cultures are a big part of the city.
This is absolutely true and well-stated! However, because the rest of the article has been so gushy, anyone who doesn't already know that Malaysian food is wonderful and KL is one of the best places to eat in the world might be skeptical and think these are exaggerations! That's why it's best to avoid overusing superlatives and save them for when they are really needed.
