Today, there is probably a Chinatown in every major city, but each one has its own distinctive features. Kuala Lumpur's is definitely the most crowded. There are fairly narrow passages between the buildings here, and there are so many people that at times it is hard to push your way through. The streets are lined with stalls and covered with goods from top to bottom. That is why it is better to come here fresh and well-rested, so that you have enough energy to walk around at least half of this buzzing "anthill."
The quality of the goods here is, of course, not the highest, but the prices can be bargained down mercilessly. For those interested in designer clothing, the number of counterfeits sold here at every turn will be an unexpected discovery. Sometimes it seems that Giorgio Armani or Calvin Klein have not even come up with such outfits yet, and they are already being actively sold in Chinatown in the middle of Kuala Lumpur.
In addition to buying clothes, shoes, accessories, and souvenirs, you can try Asian delicacies, teas, healing remedies, as well as traditional Chinese cuisine here. Some are sold right from the stalls, but it is better to look for more established eateries. At the same time, pay attention to whether there are many people inside the place, preferably locals. They certainly know where truly tasty and inexpensive food is sold.
