Urban Life in KL (Part 1) - Petaling Street, Chinatown

Petaling Street is the center of Kuala Lumpur's original Chinatown. It maintains much of its traditional atmosphere as a well-known shopping district, particularly at night when vendors spread their wares out on the street, transforming the place into a lively and vibrant night market after dark. Tourists will cite it as a shopper’s haven, albeit in a different league when compared to its more glamourous counterparts, Bukit Bintang and KLCC. While it is possible to purchase anything from gems and incense to toys, food and t-shirts here, enjoying the night market is really a matter of just wandering about. You will definitely be amazed seeing its people, cultue, sights, sounds, and of course, the indefatigable energy throughout the night.
