Mid Valley Megamall Gardens
Both Mid Valley Megamall and neighboring luxurious shopping mall the Gardens is part of Mid Valley City. Within Mid Valley City there are office blocks, a convention centre, residential blocks and a few hotels; including the 5 stars The Gardens Hotel and the 4 stars Boulevard Hotel .

The two malls are also connected through a bridge and an underground corridor.
Jalan Alor
Food streets like Jalan Alor, Petaling Street and Kampung Baru have numerous small restaurants in one big row. You can order wherever you like and sit in front of the restaurants at one of their plastic chairs and tables. Food often is great and very local. Jalan Alor is the best place to visit if your staying in the Bukit Bintang area (city center). Petaling Street is the best place if you are staying around Chinatown. Kampung Baru can be easily reached by LTR (station Kampung Baru); here you can enjoy a nice local meal with fantastic views on the Petronas Twin Towers at the background.

Batu Caves is a place where you should not miss on your visit to Malaysia!
Chinatown
At the heart of Kuala Lumpur is an area which never sleeps, and far more colourful and bustling than its bigger and more glamourous neighbours, KLCC & Bukit Bintang. Chinatown, based in Petaling Street, is also known as 'Chee Cheong Kai' (Starch Factory Street), a reference to its roots as a tapioca-producing district. Deeply immersed in Oriental culture, heritage and history, Chinatown is undoubtedly one of the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia.
Chinatown is also a well-known bargain hunter’s paradise, a place where you can find all sorts of stuff from Chinese herbs to imitation goods. At night, its main market area, Petaling Street, transforms into a lively and vibrant night market, filled with hundreds of stalls offering all kinds of goods at dirt-cheap prices, and the best thing is, the prices can be brought lower still as haggling is the way of life here
KLCC
There is only one way to describe KLCC: the heart of Kuala Lumpur. At once an entertainment, commercial and business focal point, KLCC is home to some of the most popular landmarks in Malaysia, making it a popular tourist destination. With a host of options to choose from - dining, arts, culture, recreation, sightseeing, shopping and entertainment – you won’t be stuck for ideas on what to do around here.
Described by its developers as ‘A City Within A City’, KLCC offers a myriad of interesting attractions that never cease to wonder, as well as plenty of nightlife, dining and shopping options. KLCC is readily accessible via public transport with many buses operating on various routes within the area and a few train stations nearby.
