The route eventually threads its way between Putrajaya and Bangi into the suburbs to the south of Kuala Lumpur. Shortly after Bangi it will enter The University Putra Malaysia (UPM) campus and emerge in Serdang. It will continue on into Seri Kerbangan. On reaching the area near to The Selangor Turf Club and The Mines it will turn sharply left and head west towards The National Stadium at Bukit Jalil. From here the route goes through Sri Petaling and ends up on Jalan Klang Lama. It then tracks the Klang River into the city centre. Along the way it will pass KL Sentral (KL's new central transportation hub) and the original Kuala Lumpur train station which is famed for being built with elegant dome-capped pavilions along its roof line. Shortly after this the route arrives at its final destination at Merdeka Square with its equally impressive architecture of The Sultan Abdul Samad Building that was completed in 1897.
