The PETRONAS Twin Towers, which stand 452 meters tall, held the global record until 2004, when Taipei's 101, which is 508 meters tall, was completed. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which opened in 2010, is still the world's tallest building. The PETRONAS Twin Towers, which are located in the heart of KL, are Islamic-inspired structures that contain the Petronas Company's corporate headquarters and other offices.

Chinatown Kuala Lumpur

Chinatown KL

The vibrant Chinatown is a well-known bargain hunting haven that appears to never slumber. Chinatown Kuala Lumpur is one of Malaysia's most popular tourist destinations, and it holds its own against its more glamorous in the city, KLCC and Bukit Bintang. It is deeply rooted in Oriental culture, legacy, and history. You may get everything from Chinese herbs to fake items in this neighborhood, which wonderfully represents Malaysia's multihued multicultural past.

Chinatown is also known for being a bargain hunter's paradise, where you can get everything from Chinese herbs to knockoffs. Petaling Street, the city's primary market district, changes into a noisy and energetic night market at night, with hundreds of vendors selling a wide range of goods at dirt-cheap prices.

Attractions in Chinatown KL

The rows and rows of booths selling everything from food to apparel at low costs are undoubtedly Chinatown's most appealing feature. But if you dig deeper, you'll discover that Chinatown is about more than just counterfeit items.

Temples that have been operating for almost a century are just around the corner from this bargain-hunting paradise. The Sri Mahamari Amman Temple, which was built in 1873, is the country's oldest and most ornately designed Hindu temple, while Chan See Shu Yuen Temple and Kuan Ti Temple are superb examples of Oriental architecture with open courtyards, symmetrical pavillions, and decorated roofs.

Restaurants in Chinatown KL

Chinatown is virtually bursting at the seams with Chinese eateries and hawker shops serving everything from steamed buns to shrimp. A Chinese restaurant greets you almost wherever you look, the delicious aromas rising from its kitchen enticing you to come inside and experience what's cooking.

But those aren't the only things you'll discover here; there are a slew of other popular dishes that are exclusive to Chinatown and unavailable elsewhere in the city. The nicest part about these establishments is that they are all open till late at night, well into the early morning hours.

Nightlife in Chinatown KL

Chinatown's nightlife is unique; it's not about rows of clubs, pubs, and bars serving music and alcohol-fueled amusement, but about the extra colour that seems to grow more bright at night, lighting up Petaling Street and its environs. The Reggae Bar and The Beatles Bar are right across the street from each other, providing a laid-back atmosphere to unwind in.

The night market in Chinatown is the area's biggest attraction, and it's even bigger and livelier than it is during the day, providing you nightlife experience unlike any other.

Shopping in Chinatown KL

The most well-known shopping district in Chinatown is unquestionably found along Petaling Street. The street is almost brimmed with stores and stalls offering all kinds of goods at dirt-cheap prices, from phoney branded fashion items to delectable hawker food, and is marked by a big, green awning protecting shoppers from rain and afternoon heat. The best part is that costs can be lowered even further because haggling is a way of life here.

The Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a famous city landmark that originally served as the colonial British administration's office, is one of Kuala Lumpur's first Moorish-style constructions. It now serves as the headquarters for Malaysia's Ministry of Information, Communications, and Culture. It's east of Merdeka Square (Dataran Merdeka) and serves as the backdrop for Malaysia's annual Independence Day parades. It was created in 1897 by AC Norman.

Originally, the historic site served as the secretariat for the colonial British administration. The Federal Court of Malaysia, the Court of Appeals, and the High Court of Malaya were all housed in this historically significant structure constructed by AC Norman, the same architect who designed Masjid Jamek (Jamek Mosque).

Jalan Tun Perak is the location (across from Dataran Merdeka on Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin)
