CHINATOWN - Kuala Lumpur: The GOOD & The BAD!

The district of Chinatown in downtown Kuala Lumpur is busy and vibrant, full of history, beautiful temples and great food.

Before we head into Chinatown, we'll visit the incredible Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered temple opened in 1989 and borrowing from Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian traditions.

Then it's straight to the heart of Chinatown, Jalan Petaling, also known as the Petaling Street Market. Certainly tourist-oriented but a must stop off in the city.

We'll have some amazing lunch at Mee Tarik Restoran close by (recommended!) and head around to the Taoist Guan Di Temple from 1886.

Close by there's the popular Kwai Chai Hong, with street art showing Chinatown as it would have been in the 60s before visiting the Chan She Shu Yuen (CSSY) Clan Ancestral Hall to learn a little about Chinese clan association buildings.

After that we'll visit the Central Market (Pasar Seni) along with it's art section before stepping just outside of Chinatown to the beautiful Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad.

Come with me and I'll show you around this awesome part of KL!
