Buzzing with life and selling once-in-a-lifetime bargains, Chinatown is one famous location in Kuala Lumpur that sleeps neither by day nor night. Find anything you need from consumer goods to electrical appliances and you can expect bargains to be as great as your skills are and by night, the city awakens to its exotic nightlife. What is perhaps a little less noticed is the historic relics and temples that lie in the vicinity of this area and is possibly obscured by the very commercial aspect of it.
Chinatown lies at the heart of Kuala Lumpur and is exceptionally famous for being a paradise for bargain seekers who can test their skills to no end and be gifted with rare and exclusive bargains. Shopping is the number one activity of this area and the items on offer include even fakes of original brands in the likes of Rolex, Calvin Klein etc. Petling Street is the most famous part that is renowned for its all-day stalls that number nearly hundreds and sell garments, accessories and equipment all round the clock. Night life is another colourful affair and while slightly different to the clubbing and dancing bar atmosphere, it’s more about vibrancy and activity and the night market also takes precedence with hawker food stalls, restaurants and bars like the reggae bar booming out toe tapping music to more cool and relaxing ambience of the Beatles bar.
Built in the shape of a human body that is lying on its back, Sri Mahamarian Hindu Temple is the oldest Hindu temple in the country and boasts of intricate sculptures on its tall tower representing the divine forces of the Hindu religion. Kuan Ti temple that is dedicated to the Chinese gods is yet another attraction in China Town with its two lion statues standing in protective stance leading the way to the lobby.
While making exceptional bargains and discovering religious buildings in the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur, a traveller can find excellent accommodation in the form of a Kuala Lumpur service apartment and the Somerset Seri Bukit Ceylon is a popular choice with its prime location within the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur as well as its modern and sophisticated residences with exceptional facilities and services catering to business travellers. As a Serviced Apartment Kuala Lumpur, this complex of residencies is in a strategic location in close proximity to city’s major attractions like the Bukit Bintang shopping mall and the Petronas Twin towers.
