The expressions of love could take shape in many different ways. Aside from surprise bouquets and dark chocolates, outdoor dates are seen as a low-key approach for couples to spend time together. It is also a more casual and laid-back alternative to the expensive restaurants and luxurious staycations. Kuala Lumpur has no shortage of places to host your outdoor dates, and here is a list of places to start.

1. Sunset cruise at Putrajaya Lake

Anyone else loves sunset as much as we do? If yes, the Putrajaya Lake is where you and your partner should be. Most couples would take a stroll or cycle around the lake. If you prefer to feel the wind brushing your cheeks, board their cruise boats for a glimpse of Putrajaya’s modern building and iconic landmarks. You’ll cruise by the Putra Mosque, Seri Saujana Bridge and Taman Wawasan. You can also splurge on two seats in the air-conditioned cruise boat complete with a delicious on-board menu.
