Kuala Lumpur is a feast for all the senses. Historic monuments, steel-clad skyscrapers, lush parks, mega sized shopping malls, bustling street markets and lively nightspots. Essential parts of the vibrant mix are the incense-wreathed, colourfully adorned mosques and temples of the country’s Malay, Chinese and Indian communities. Join the locals in two of their favourite pastimes: shopping and eating. Malaysian consumer culture achieves its zenith whilst browsing glitzy air-conditioned malls or the artisans and antiques dealers around Chinatown. Find the city's best dining spots: the hawker stalls and traditional coffee shops that beckon you over with the aroma of freshly cooked food and the promise of refreshment with tropical juices and cooling drinks.
