Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur
Almost everywhere in the world, there is a Chinatown. But the one in Kuala Lumpur is something that you should never miss while you’re in Malaysia. Located at the heart of the city, the colorful and bustling Chinatown traces its roots back to when it was a tapioca-producing district, which is why it’s also known to locals as “Chee Cheong Kai” or Starch Factory Street.
Today, it is one of the top tourist spots in all of Malaysia, especially those who are on the lookout for a good bargain.
Walking through Chinatown will take you to a world filled with everything from knockoff product to Chinese herbs and at night, Petaling Street transforms into a huge night market where you can shop from hundreds of stalls that sell all kinds of products at very low prices.
Chinatown is also the best place to test your haggling skills so you can get even lower prices for the goods you want to buy.
So, if you’re in Kuala Lumpur, make sure to spend at least a few hours visiting Chinatown to satisfy your need for some serious retail therapy. Get in touch with La Vacanza to find out how you can book a tour of Kuala Lumpur and the rest of Malaysia.
