Things to do in Kuala Lumpur

What to do in KL
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).

Golden Triangle is the most amazing and centered place in KL. It is


called golden triangle- KL towers and PETRONAS on one side and
Berjaya Times Square on the other side. These are the tourist
centered places.

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.

Kuala Lumpur to Genting Highlands

This is how I did it:


1) Bought ticket from Pudu Raya bus station: One day in advance

It’s on the first floor counter no 27


(as you can see in the picture).

One way bus ticket plus Skyway


transfer is RM10.60 for adult and
RM9.5 for Child.

And there is some discount also if you will buy return


ticket but its not advisable to buy because you never know
how much time it can take. Also, there are specific bus
timings so please be sure when you want to leave.
