Little India

Little India, a colorful maze of textile shops and jewelry stores. True to its name, Little India is an ever-bustling street in Brickfields, decorated with colourful floral motifs, pastel-hued structures, and Indian pop tunes blaring out of Indian stalls, stores and restaurants run by the country's Indian community. Little India Brickfields is well-regarded as one of Kuala Lumpur's trademark tourist hotspots, not only because of the wares found here but for its proximity to KL Sentral Station - a mere 5-minute walk away.

With many shops and stalls in the area selling everything from traditional Indian goods such as saris, flower garlands, and jewellery, to local cuisines such as roti canai and thosai (Indian pancakes made from fermented rice flour), Little India is a convenient one-stop destination for shopping, dining, and sightseeing.

Central Market

Central Market, also known as Pasar Seni, is one of Kuala Lumpur's most familiar landmarks, a shopping paradise, as well as a popular tourist attraction. Located along Jalan Hang Kasturi (a five-minute walk from Petaling Street), Central Market is accessible via LRT - it is just one stop away from KL Sentral Station.

A pale blue-hued building with art-deco style and local baroque trimmings, Central Market also serves as a focal point for the Kuala Lumpur's artistic community, Central Market is a warren of art galleries, independent boutiques, kitschy handicraft and souvenir stalls with traders selling local merchandise such as authentic Malaysian batik prints and local artwork.

Mid Valley Megamall

Mid Valley Megamall is one of the largest in Southeast Asia and arguably, one of Kuala Lumpur's most popular shopping hotspots. Opened in November 1999, Mid Valley is home to over 430 stores spread across five floors; its five anchor tenants include Carrefour, Jusco, Golden Screen Cinemas, Metrojaya and Harvey Norman.

In a separate building you'll find the Gardens Mall, a more lavish environment that offers high-end international designer brands. Opened in 2007, it's linked to Mid Valley Megamall via a bridge as well as an underground corridor. In addition to its close proximity to the Mid Valley KTM station, there are also several RapidKL buses - U66, U84, U85, U87 and T631 - that arrive at the mall's North Court entrance.

Chinatown

At the heart of Kuala Lumpur is an area which never sleeps, and far more colourful and bustling than its bigger and more glamourous neighbours, KLCC & Bukit Bintang. Chinatown, based in Petaling Street, is also known as 'Chee Cheong Kai' (Starch Factory Street), a reference to its roots as a tapioca-producing district. Deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history, Chinatown is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia.

Chinatown is also a well-known bargain hunter's paradise, a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Chinese herbs to imitation goods. At night, its main market area, Petaling Street, transforms into a lively and vibrant night market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods at dirt-cheap prices, and the best thing is, the prices can be brought lower still as haggling is the way of life here.
