Chinatown
The crowded and colourful Chinatown area is a jumble of shops,
food, smells and people. The central section of Petaling Street is
closed at night to traffic and the street is transformed into an
exciting, brightly lit experience. Vendors spread their wares onto
the pavement and one can stroll along endlessly taking it all in.
Merchandise ranges from jewellery to toys and t-shirts and
bargaining for the best prices is accepted practice and part of the
fun.
