The Cruise Tasik Putrajaya (CTP) Officially launched in 30 August 2003 by the former Prime Minister Dato Seri Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad. Cruise Tasik Putrajaya is an excellent way for sightseeing. The sightseeing tours by perahu boats or air-conditioned cruise boats are provided everyday.

This round we had the air-conditioned cruise boat, the entire Putrajaya Lake sightseeing journey around 45 minutes. This fully air-conditioned cruise boat which can accommodate 76 persons, it is very comfortable to capture an amazing view of Putrajaya.

As the boat cruises past the many astonishing landmarks, you can hop over to the decks and enjoy a fantastic feel from the rushing breeze.

The Seri Wawasan Bridge is one of the main bridges in Putrajaya, the Malaysian federal administrative capital. This futuristic cable-stayed bridge which has a sail ship appearance, connects Precinct 2 on the Core Island to the residential area of Precinct 8.

The 650-hectare Putrajaya Lake is designed to act as a natural cooling system for the city and for recreation, fishing, water sports and water transport. For the water in the lake to be clean enough for body contact, water sports and recreational activities, a wetland was constructed to remove pollutants and to clean the water before it enter the lake.

One of the Putrajaya landmark,Putrajaya Mosque, or Masjid Putra in Malay language, is the principal mosque of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later. It is located next to Perdana Putra which houses the Malaysian Prime Minister's office and man-made Putrajaya Lake. In front of the mosque is a large square with flagpoles flying Malaysian states' flags.

Darul Ehsan Palace (Istana Darul Ehsan), which is located in Putrajaya, Malaysia, is one of the royal residences of the Sultan of Selangor (Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah).

The Millenium Monument Putrajaya is perhaps one of the most well-kept secrets of Putrajaya. The Millenium Monument was designed by the world famous architect, Dr Ken Yeang to usher in the new millennium.

The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, or Iron Mosque (Masjid Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin or Masjid Besi) is the second principal mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia after Putra Mosque.
