KL's
very own Chinatown is a hive of sound and activities. Located
at the heart of KL's bustling Chinatown, Petaling Street is the
place to head for those who are interested in experiencing the
excitement of bargaining for their purchases. Shops here stock
a variety of goods from dresses and shoes to fabrics, costume
jewellery, and many more
|
|
Central
Market is situated at the border of Chinatown, so it would be
a good idea to wind-up with a walking tour of Chinatown at Central
Market, where you can find some air-conditioning and a refreshing
drink. Inside, local artists also sell paintings while they demonstrate
their artistry on-site. The market is also a treasure trove of
traditional arts and crafts.

Merdeka
Square

Sultan
Abdul Samad Building
|
|
Literally
translated as "Independence Square", Dataran Merdeka
is an excellent locale to journey into KL's past. A good time
to get a feel for local urban culture is to go there after sunset,
especially during the holidays and weekends. That's when locals
come to throng the grass-covered, breezy Padang (field). There's
no better place to meet Malaysians than at the square
|

The
Sultan Abdul Samad Building is located in front of the Dataran
Merdeka - literally the Independence Square - and the Royal Selangor
Club, by Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The
structure takes its name from Sultan Abdul Samad, the reigning
sultan of Selangor at the time when construction began.

your tour of the city centre at the Masjid Jamek, situated on
the nib of land at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak Rivers.
The oldest mosque in KL, it was designed by the British architect
A.B. Hubbock in the Indian Muslim architectural style of northern
India, featuring arched colonnades, onion-shaped domes and minarets,
as well as gleaming marble floors. Surrounded by breeze-swept
palm trees, the mosque provides a peaceful sight amid the urban
high-rise landscape.

Located
along Jalan Tun HS Lee, this temple is one of the most elaborate
Hindu temples in the country. The temple has hundreds of intricate
carvings of Hindu deities. Italian and Spanish tiles cover the
walls of the interior. Built in 1873, it also houses one giant
chariot that is used to transport a Hindu deity during the annual
festival of Thaipusam. Visitors to the temple may have a chance
to witness a fascinating traditional Hindu wedding or pooja (prayer
ritual).
