KUALA LUMPUR

Next destination is Kuala Lumpur. It is a big area. What you can see and observed is that not only local people are here, but there are many from the others country all around the globe.

Central Market Kuala Lumpur began life as a wet market in 1888; built by Yap Ah Loy, the city's Chinese Kapitan. It served as a prominent landmark in colonial and modern-day Kuala Lumpur. When it was relocated in the 1980s, the Malaysian Heritage Society successfully petitioned against the demolition of the building, and it was subsequently declared a centre for Malaysian arts, culture and handicraft.

Central Market Kuala Lumpur is today a major attraction for both tourists and Malaysians alike.

In affirming its position as a world-class tourist destination, the Kasturi Walk at Central Market Kuala Lumpur opened in 2011. This outdoor and covered pedestrianised lane running alongside the main building is lined with kiosks and stalls, adding a vibrant al fresco ambience to the Central Market Kuala Lumpur shopping experience.
