M23***37:“The sunset coaster is definitely worth it. It feels so good to sit in the car and stroll around Kuala Lumpur at night while feeling the breeze. Be sure to get a stamp in advance and sit on the second floor. The scenery is especially good!”

小高高收集世界的碎片:“As a vibrant Southeast Asian metropolis, **Kuala Lumpur (KL)** gives tourists the impression of **diversity, bustle and high cost-effectiveness**, but there are also some pain points that may be encountered during travel. The following is a real experience from a personal perspective:
### **👍 Experiences worth praising**
#### **1. Check in at landmarks and take photos📸📸📸
The night view of the Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC)** is super beautiful, especially the light show in the Fountain Square, which creates a full atmosphere at night.
- **Independence Square** and **Sultan Abdul Samad Building**: colonial-style buildings, suitable for taking retro blockbusters.
- **Batu Caves**: colorful stairs and giant statues, with a strong Indian style (but there are so many monkeys, be careful to grab food!).
#### **2. Foodie paradise, street food explosion*🍻🌮🍗
- **Jalan Alor**: A must-go for tourists, there are many grilled chicken wings, satay, and durian stalls, but the prices are a bit expensive (locals recommend the small alleys around **Petaling Street**).
- **Nasi Lemak** and **Bak Kut Teh**: Must-try for breakfast! **Village Park** or **Xinfeng Bak Kut Teh** are recommended.
- **Mamak**: Roti Canai + Teh Tarik, a soul combination for midnight snacks!
#### **3. Shopping is fun and the prices are friendly** 👜👜
- **Pavilion KL** and **KLCC mall**: A full range of big brands, often with discounts, cheaper than domestic when the exchange rate is good.
- **Central Market**: Buy handicrafts and batik cloth, suitable for souvenir hunting.
- **Night market near Pavilion**: roadside stalls selling phone cases and accessories at night, bargaining starts at half price!
#### **4. Convenient transportation** ✈️🚝🚘
- **Grab taxis are cheap**, most of the city is 10-20 MYR, more reliable than taxis.
- **Metro (LRT/MRT)** can reach major attractions, but the transfer is a bit complicated (Google Maps is a must to check the route).
#### *5. Multicultural experience**
- You can see **mosques**, visit **Indian temples**, eat **Chinese teahouses** in one day, and the language is basically fluent in English + Chinese.

Complaint points**🤢🤢🤢🤢
**1. The weather is so hot that it melts
- 30℃+ all year round, high humidity, and sweating profusely after walking outdoors for 10 minutes. It is recommended to go out in the morning and evening, and avoid shopping malls at noon.
2. Some tourist attractions are "photo-cheating"**
- **Petaling Street (Chinatown)*”

一直在路上的猫:“Strolling and eating in Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur.
Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur is a must-visit place, and it is also a place where good and bad people mix. It was built in the 1850s by Chinese miners. In 1880, Malaysian Chinese Yap Ah Loy opened a cassava flour processing factory here. Because cassava is called "ci" in Cantonese, it was named "Petaling Street". After the factory closed in 1882, this place gradually developed into a vibrant Chinatown.
Here you will have an illusion that you have returned to China. Chinese elements can be seen everywhere, including Chinese archways, buildings, and stalls.
There are many Chinese shops selling all kinds of things, as well as gold shops, Chinese spices, local specialties, etc. At night, many stalls will be set up and it will be very crowded. There are all kinds of fruits at moderate prices. I also bought delicious soy milk and delicious ginger candy tofu. There are also rice noodle rolls and stuffed tofu, sugar-free pork porridge, braised duck, wonton noodles, etc.
There are several famous food stores, such as the clay pot coffee and roast meat in Bihualou, Shengji clay pot, Xinjiuru beef noodles, Hejiu Hainanese tea shop, etc. Many stores have to queue up.
I also met a beautiful woman taking pictures. I don’t know which country she is an internet celebrity or a star.”
wendy_panwen:“This night market is quite big and long, very popular, and has a large flow of customers~
The whole night market is mainly food, and the popular online merchants are very popular, so you have to wait for a seat~
The taste is pretty good, but the service is not very good, with local characteristics, and the service is very casual~
The environment is pretty good, and it is quite spacious for a night market. It is not bad to just walk around and experience the local night market culture~”
Anonymous user:“I had a blast at Sunway! From thrilling slides to gentle rafting, there's so much fun for the whole family! The place is spacious and clean, making it a great value for a full day! I didn't want to leave until I was done!”
一砖一菩提:“The National Mosque is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. It is free to visit. Both the architecture and the scenery inside are beautiful. You can take photos and check in while appreciating Islamic culture and architecture.”
