Do Butterfly, Orchid, Bird & Deer Park at the Lake Gardens (can be done in one day),
Petronas Towers are good & free but only 10min up there on the bridge - recommend you spend the RM20 for the KL Tower with its 360 degree view and free audio guide once up there. We did it at night for beautiful city lights).
Go to FRIM and do the canopy Walk just take lots of water, wear covered Shoes & bug spray. Not for those who don’t lik heights (the canopy walk is 30m high & sways!)
Red Palm. Just chill all day while you wait for you connecting flight out of KL. That what we did after spending months in Asia. It almost feels like we were home already.
If you’re looking to escapre the city for the day, highly recommend taking Mr. Yen’s day tour to Chiling Waterfall - An amazing spot, you can swim in the rock pool, after an easy 1 hour hike though the jungle to reach it ... you also get to visit a Buddhist temple, Hot Springs & see the beautiful Malaysian countryside!
Mr Yen & his mate Taddi are fun & make you feel right at home.
1 tip for the backpackers (the hungry ones): probably the best Malay restaurant in town: “Seraya Asia”
Adress: Medan Pasar (close to Central Market), next to HSBC Bank.
Great Stay at Red Palm, Great time in Kuala Lumpur, Chinatown, Petronas Twins, Lake Gardens….
Good english bookshops selling cheap books (relative to north american prices).
Also, go over to Jalan Alor and try night hawker food - they’re open til 4am!
Go Luna Bar in KL at night.
Order one drink or anything else and enjoy the night.
Book a tour (2-6 people ca.RM400 altogether)to the sanctuary close to Lanceng. Don’t expect a personal and intimate session, but still it is nice that someone thinks about these animals after they had been chased away by humans. You see a short docu, feeding them yourself, a short ride on their back and bathing (with) them.
Go to Thean Hou Budddhist Temple - it’s exceptional. Get ther for 5-6 o’clock and watch the sun set from the temple roof over the Kuala Lumpur skyline - wonderful!
Also the temple is lit up at night.
KL was great, the Red Palm is the place to stay! We will come back again. We would rather live here, it’s better than Bangkok. All the best!
Spend a lazy few hours at the craft complex. Find the Batik hut and create wax pictures onto Silk (20 Ringgit) or cotton (15 Ringgit). Great souvenir for your Granny!
Plus the girls in the hut are super nice. RM8-10 by taxi or a fair walk.
The area features a large Indonesian community, and more recently, a small African community. It has a daily wet market known as Bazaar Baru Chow Kit which is arguably the largest wet market in Kuala Lumpur. Chow Kit is also known for its red-light district as well as for its nightly gathering of transwomen. ... more
