by Jillworld (Photo care of VT member Guantanamera) KL has a vibrant, bustling Chinatown, surrounding Jalan (street) Petaling, that is great for a good wander around, especially during the night market. There are lots of bargains and great food to be had. Also, much of KL's affordable accommodation seems to be centred around here. Leave a Comment

China town is amazing. You must go there just to experience the atmosphere. Go see the Twin Towers. The view from the top in unbelievable (make sure that there is no fog when you go up there, that sort of ruins it for you)
The people are really nice. Food is great.

I love to visit the Batu Caves

Just walk around the city. It's large, but well worth the two or so days it takes to truly explore it. Chinatown here is fantastic, and you can get anything you want, including high quality CDs and DVDs. The city has so many different areas to explore that it's doubtful you'll ever get tired of just seeing what you can find.
One of my best days in KL was exploring Chinatown and stumbling across a temple that had at one time been a personal temple for a family. Now it's open to the public, and though it's small and not as grand as some of the larger temples it was still fun to see. Leave a Comment

 Chinatown by phil_uk_net I had heard that the authorities were cleaning up Chinatown. On my second visit to KL I saw the results. The squalid living conditions and filth are still there but there is now a roof over the street and a few palm trees along the sidewalk. Leave a Comment

 Chinatown by phil_uk_net In the past I have been quite critical of Singapore because of the fact they removed all the old buildings to build new ones. What I didn't realise was quite how bad those old buildings were. When buildings get beyond a state that is fit for human habitation they have to be pulled down and rebuilt. This is just what happened to Chinatown in Singapore. In KL they have taken a different approach. The filthy, old buildings are there but with a new roof and a few palm trees. Malaysia is obsessive about becoming a developed nation by 2020 but the 'Band Aid' approach they are using in problem areas is not the way to achieve their ambition. The picture shows the new roof over an original old building. Leave a Comment
