THE GREEN LUNG BETWEEN WANGSA MAJU & SETIAWANGSA
Bukit Dinding constitutes a significant ecological asset within Kuala Lumpur, serving as one of Kuala Lumpur’s last remaining green lungs. Encompassing more than 300 acres of green, this area comprises a thriving secondary forest that has naturally regenerated within the confines of a former abandoned rubber estate. Official government documents lists Bukit Dinding’s height as 291 meters, although, various reliable sources indicate that the hill’s elevation surpasses 310 meters.
Bukit Dinding today is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting hikers, joggers, and cyclists who relish its challenging terrain. The tarmac road constructed for a telecommunications tower at its peak now serves as the main walking trail. There are trail networks by both mountain bikers and hikers.
This natural space hosts popular annual events, including the thrilling Bukit Dinding Downhill (BDDH) Race i.e. a renowned local downhill mountain biking race event and the Bukit Dinding Challenge (BDC) with its grueling 6 & 12-hour endurance running event!
As you explore Bukit Dinding, observe the pressing environmental concerns, including landslides, climate change, and the imperative need for public green space. Overpopulation challenges stemming from rapid urban development and the inadequacy of green spaces highlight the need for comprehensive solutions.
