Station 01 Kuala Lumpur - Day Two

Wrapped up a day of historical journey in Kuala Lumpur City, my second day is more about cultures, plus delicious foods and beverages! Since KL Hop-on Hop-off City Tour ticket is only valid for 24 hours, I choose LRT as my transportation for today’s trip.

Take LRT to Station Pasar Seni, and walk for around 10 minutes, here it is. There are more than 300 shops and restaurants, I can stay here for hours to buy souvenirs and arts crafts. Foods there are also good to try.

Just a few minutes of walk from Central Markt, here is Sri Mahamariaman Temple, an Indian temple in Kuala Lumpur. It is the oldest Hindu temple in Kuala Lumpur, which was founded in 1873. It is also the largest Hindu temple in Malaysia. The decorations are amazing. Here are small tips for visitors, proper dress is required, and need to prepare cash to store shoes.

Visited Sri Mahamariaman Temple to enjoy Hindu culture, while my next stop is China Town, to explore old fashioned Chinese culture.  Walking about 3 minutes, I have reached China Town. As a matter of fact, I was disappointed that it is not as authentic as I imagined, but the foods there are too good that I cannot stop eating. There are so many decent restaurants and cafes here, I can only choose some of them to try, otherwise, my stomach cannot handle. Other than foods, there are tourist attractions and shops worth visiting also.
