Pink Mosque, Putrajaya (Joker 1)

The pink-domed Putra Mosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite and can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time. The basement wall of the mosque resembles that of the King Hassan Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco.

The mosque consists of three main functional areas - the prayer hall, the Sahn, or courtyard, and various learning facilities and function rooms. The prayer hall is simple and elegant, supported by 12 columns. The highest point below the dome is 250 feet above ground level.

The Sahn, landscaped with several decorative water features and bordered by colonnades, provides a huge yet welcoming and beautiful prayer space.

Its impressive minaret is influenced by the design of the Sheikh Omar Mosque in Baghdad. At 116m, it is one of the tallest minarets in the region and has five tiers, representing the Five Pillars of Islam.

粉紅清真寺

布特拉回教堂，俗稱玫瑰清真寺、粉紅清真寺、水上清真寺，是馬來西亞行政首都布城的一家回教堂，位於布特拉湖旁。毗鄰首相府和布特拉廣場。

1997年動工興建，兩年後落成。耗資2億5千萬令吉。外牆粉紅色，有九個圓頂（最大者高50公尺）和一座高116公尺的宣禮塔。可容納15,000人聚禮。

Putrajaya

Putrajaya is Malaysia's third and latest Federal Territory. Built on an expansive marshland and former oil palm estate in Selangor, the city spans an area of almost 5,000 hectares and lies 25 km from Kuala Lumpur. Putrajaya takes over the administrative functions of the capital city Kuala Lumpur and is part of the Multimedia Super Corridor project of the Malaysian government.

Much organisation and planning have gone into the development of Putrajaya as a modern city with the latest communication technologies and progressive infrastructure. The streets are elegantly designed with a European feel, along with well-paved roads while the government buildings are a blend of modern architecture with Islamic arts. Commercial, authoritative and residential areas have been divided into precincts that blend into each other cohesively. A waterway cuts through the city, flowing into a large lake. The concrete landscape is balanced with lots of parks, greenery and wetlands but because the land is relatively flat, it does not look lush.

There are several places that visitors can explore. Those coming from KLIA airport will only take minutes to reach Putrajaya. On the other hand, there are plenty of bus and railway services to ferry you to Putrajaya from Kuala Lumpur.




布城

布城也称布特拉再也、太子城,是马来西亚的联邦行政中心。马来语的原名中，「putra」意为王子，而「jaya」意为「成功」或「胜利」（两个词都来自梵语）。布城就是象征欣欣向荣的理想城。这个“智慧型花园城市”保留着马来西亚的传统遗产精粹，其中至少三分之一的地区仍然保留着大自然的翠绿景色，林园、湖泊及湿地，是马来西亚珍贵的绿色瑰宝遗产。

布城于2001年2月1日成为马来西亚的第三个联邦直辖区。它位于马来半岛中部，居于吉隆坡市与吉隆坡国际机场之间，相距两地各约40公里。整个城市面积广阔，山林起伏，宏伟壮观，其中70%是绿地，红花绿叶相映，环境清幽宜人。经过近6年的规划建设，现已是颇具规模的一座现代化新兴城市，也成为马来西亚一处最新的旅游景点。马来西亚首相署和政府各部已迁入布城办公，住宅区、商业区、文化、休闲设施和交通体系已基本配套。

布城是一个经过完善规划和设计，处处以环保为重的新型现代化城市。

布城建立一个新的联邦政府行政中心的构想是从二十世纪八十年代后期开始萌芽的，其目的在于确保吉隆坡继续发展为马来西亚的主要商业和金融中心，位于雪兰莪州Prang Besar南部一片占地4,932公顷的森林地区成为首选之地，并很快以马来西亚第一任首相东姑阿都拉曼布特拉奥哈之名，命名为“布特拉再也”，以纪念他对国家的贡献。

布城面积广阔，大约38%的土地被开发成公园、湖泊和湿地公园，其余的则保留为政府行政区、商业与住宅区、以及公共便利与福利设施等用途。

布城城市的中心是布特拉再也湖。这个占地650公顷的人造湖也肩负着调节气温的作用。最令人惊讶的是湖水的水质被鉴定为临时国家水质标准的2B级。此品质的水适宜与皮肤接触，也是所有全国及国际水上运动必须符合的水质规格。

来到布城的人肯定会被竖立在道路两旁，设计独特的街灯所吸引。以火炬和大型风筝为造型的街灯点缀大道两旁，仿佛张开双臂以充满了马来西亚色彩的热情来欢迎每一位来到这里的人。

布城有许多值得一看的地方，有宏伟，并体现了马来式、中式和印度式建筑风格的首相署；以马来民族建筑风格融合西方及当代元素的首相官邸；建筑在湖上，被称作“水上清真寺“的布特拉清真寺，以及风格各异的政府各部门的办公大楼、 各具特色的八座设计独特的桥，还有传统农业公园等。
