KL is the capital city of multi cultural country, Malaysia. Skyscrapers on the one side and shopping malls on the other. Famous for its street foods all over the world. Unlike other Asian countries,Kuala Lumpur is something different. It has its own night life. Local people are really good and always ready to help travelers. City sleeps only at 3am. Tourism plays an important role in city’s service-driven economy. It is the sixth most visited city in the world. Moving in the city is really comfortable for tourist. If you are staying in Puduraya or Buket bintang ,the whole city is walkable. All the places are well connected by Bus and train. Driving in the city can be adventures due to pathetic traffic( 🙂 you are not used to it).

10) Chinatown( Petaling Street)
I don’t know what to say about this “Petaling Street” because everybody said me not to go as here is a risk of theft, so if you are going then it is at your own risk and if you are carrying any bag then wear it in front. But still I went here but I didn’t find any such thing what people said me but still have to be cautious. Great place to do shopping but need to bargain.
Fee: Free
