Bukit Nanas, which means “Pineapple Hill”, is the last remaining virgin tropical jungle located in the center of Kuala Lumpur city. Originally known as Bukit Gombak, its story is very much tied to the history of Kuala Lumpur itself. Kuala Lumpur began when Raja Abdullah, a member of the Selangor Royal Family and Chieftain of Klang, hired a Chinese prospector to venture upstream from Klang to open new tin mines in the Ampang area. Eventually mining was successfully set up in Ampang, but the tin ore had to be transported downstream where supplies and provisions brought upstream by the boat.
