A little more perspective

Tourism Malaysia gives the tower’s height as 421 meters and explains that its hilltop location can make it appear taller than the Petronas Towers. Site elevation and tower height answer different questions.

Placed on the same baseline, the catalog’s 451.9-meter Petronas Tower 1 reaches 30.9 meters higher. Kuala Lumpur Tower’s illustrated base is level with the other objects; it is not placed on a hidden mound representing the real hill.
