Central Market

Central Market

Location: Along Jalan Hang Kasturi, opposite the Dayabumi Complex


Attractions: Bars, Restaurants, Handicraft shops

Highlights: Puppet shows, Cultural Shows

Also called Pasar Seni or Pasar Budaya, Central Market is actually one of the main attractions in Kuala Lumpur. This indoor marketplace is housed in an old building that was built by the British, in 1888. Earlier it used to be a wet market for the city inhabitants. Later it was revamped and expanded several times, though it took its final structure in 1933. During 1970's, the Malaysian Heritage Society acclaimed the building as a 'Heritage Site' when its demolition was intended.



The original art-deco building was converted into a nice dining hall, soon after. In the year 1985, Central Market was restored and reopened as the foremost Cultural Shopping Centre of Malaysia. That's the history, but as of now, this market is a full-fledged cultural center in Kuala Lumpur. Indeed it is the best place to glimpse the Malaysian arts & crafts. If you're looking to buy souvenirs and rare pieces of handicrafts, Central Market or CM is the place to head for.

Here you can find an exclusive variety of handicrafts, paintings, local crafts, t-shirts, antiques and that too, at reasonable prices. But yes, you need to be an expert at bargaining. Otherwise, you could be at loss. Perhaps you might find this two-floor building better than the plush shopping malls because it has each and every thing, ranging from restaurants, bars to ample of shopping outlets. Moreover, numerous money exchangers and ATM machines are close at hand just in case, you fall short of money.

Here you can also see the Malaysian artists engrossed in their artworks. You can order custom-made crafts or get your portrait painted; it's just about everything in this market. There is also an open-air theatre, just outside the market, where traditional dances, puppet shows, street performances and even, weekly cultural shows are organized to keep people amused. To sum up, Central Market depicts the cultural heritage of Malaysia and is a not-to-be-missed-out destination in Kuala Lumpur

Tugu Negara...National Monument

Tugu Negara

Location: Along Jalan Tugu, Near the Malaysian Houses of Parliament


Significance: National Monument of Malaysia

Tugu Negara is an imposing sculpture in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, along the Jalan Tugu. It commemorates the soldiers who died in Malaysia's struggle for freedom, particularly during World War II and the Malayan Emergency. The Tugu Negara literally connotes 'National Monument' in Malay. Elevated to the height of 15 meters (49.21 feet), Tugu Negara is identified as the largest freestanding bronze sculptures grouping in the world.



The monument illustrates a group of soldiers holding the Jalur Gemilang, the national flag of Malaysia, high in the air. Each of the bronze figures represents elements, such as, leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage, and sacrifice. Designed by Austrian sculptor Felix de Weldon, the sculpture was built in 1966. On 8 February 1966, Tugu Negara was formally opened by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and declared a memorial park dedicated to 11,000 heroes who died during the twelve-year Malayan Emergency.



Ever since, on the Heroes Day (July 31) annually, the Prime Minister, Military Heads and the Police pay homage to the fallen heroes by laying garlands at the memorial. The monument's granite base bears the following inscriptions in English with Roman script and Malay with Jawi script: "Dedicated to the heroic fighters in the cause of peace and freedom, May the blessing of Allah be upon them."



In 1975, the monument underwent a major damage because of an explosion set off by a terrorist. However, the monument was restored to its original state soon. After erecting a fence, the complex was stated a protected area between sunset and dawn. On a daily basis, a soldier raises the national flag in evening and lowers it in morning. Encircled by a pool of water fountains and water lilies, the Tugu Negara is a nice place to spend some time in tranquility.

Kuala Lumpur Tower

Kuala Lumpur Tower


Location: Jalan Punchak, Off Jalan P.Ramlee


Built During: 1991-95

Altitude: 421 meter

Attractions: Revolving restaurant, Pedestrian Mall

Significance: KL Tower symbolizes Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur Tower, formally called Menara Kuala Lumpur, is an elevated tower to be found in Kuala Lumpur. Built during 1991-95, the tower is utilized for communication purposes. On 1 Oct' 1996, the Kuala Lumpur Tower was officially inaugurated by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. It features an antenna, which soars up to 421 m (1,381 ft); thus, making it the world's fifth tallest tower at present. Its roof lies at the height of 335 m (1,099 ft).



The rest of the tower beneath comprises a staircase and an elevator to reach the upper area, which has a revolving restaurant that offers guests a panoramic view of the city. Annually, races are prearranged where contestants race up the stairs to the top. For seeing the crescent moon, the tower turns into the Islamic falak observatory to celebrate the fasting month of the Muslims. Also referred as KL Tower, the construction of the tower was actually a 3-phase process that started on Oct' 1991.



While the first phase saw widening of the Jalan Punchak and excavation of soil, the second phase started with the construction of the foundation and basement of the KL Tower. During its construction, for 31 hours about 50,000 cubic meters of concrete were poured incessantly, making a record in the construction industry of Malaysia. In May 1993, the third phase of constructing 'superstructure' was started which included creation of the tower shaft and the tower head.



While the tower head was getting finishing touch, the construction of the touristic building started. This tourist attraction is festooned with designs that signify the country's Islamic culture. At the upper ground floor, the main porch is adorned with wonderful glass-clad domes which shine like solitaires. Each of the domes was designed and arranged like the Muqarnas by the Iranian craftsmen. In short, KL Tower is an architectural wonder that should not-be-missed-out during a trip to Kuala Lumpur.



Some Interesting Facts About Kuala Lumpur Tower

The Kuala Lumpur Tower is the fifth tallest telecommunication tower in the world.

Though the tower was constructed to improve the quality of telecommunication services and the clarity of broadcasting, it actually stands for the symbol of Kuala Lumpur.

The whole structure of the KL Tower is divided into 5 different parts, including the foundation base, the touristic building, the tower shaft, the tower head, and the tower head.

Its foundation base accommodates 3 basement floors for safety purposes, storage and maintenance work.

Its touristic building houses the administration office, souvenir shops and a 146 mtr pedestrian mall with gushing pools.

Its tower shaft consists of 22 levels with 4 elevators and flights of stairs, having 2,058 steps.

Its tower head has the public observation platform and revolving restaurant, together with the telecommunication & broadcasting stations.

Its antenna mast holds the tower and is particularly used for telecommunication and broadcasting transmissions.

While constructing the KL Tower, the constructors took special care to raise a retaining wall around a century-old Jelutong tree (Dyera Costulata). To evade damaging the huge tree, the tower was moved at a cost of RM 430,000.

Kuala Lumpur Tower is controlled by Menara Kuala Lumpur Sdn. Bhd., which is an entirely owned subsidiary of the Telekom Malaysia Group.

The KL Tower made the first pit-stop in the Amazing Race Asia 1.

The tower is distinctly known for housing the highest McDonalds in the world.

Petaling Street..aka CHINA TOWN

Petaling Street


Location: Close to Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur

Attraction: Amazing range of products for shoppers

Highlights: Road-side restaurants

How To Reach: One can reach Petaling Street by hiring taxis, or by boarding buses, trains from the city.



Petaling Street, called Jalan Petaling in Malay, is actually a Chinatown that is notorious for pirated clothes and accessories in Kuala Lumpur.

Bargaining is a common spectacle here and the street is generally crammed full with locals and tourists. This place has restaurants and food stalls galore, offering local favorites, such as, hokkien mee, ikan bakar, asam laksa, and curry noodles.



Here most of the traders are Chinese though Indian, Malay, and Bangladeshi traders also thrive. Recently in 2003, the street underwent a major renovation and got two Chinese arches placed at its both ends. The best part about this street is, people know that they are buying fakes still this market fascinate not only tourists but locals as well. And that's what, which makes Petaling Street a distinguished place to shop for counterfeit branded products.

It is very much possible that you might get things on half or one-third of the quoted rates using right techniques of haggling.



Chinatown, along with its distinct shop houses, colorful temples, great restaurants and bustling night market, still retains the charm and character of the times past. The area is also known for housing many budget hotels that are smaller family owned hotels, which offer clean rooms and personalized services. In a nutshell, Petaling Street is a place that virtually never sleeps; the activities of haggling and eating can be seen here until the wee hours of morning.
