About Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is Southeast Asia's modern hub — Petronas Towers, street food hawker stalls, and a mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian cultures. It's not as charming as Bangkok or Singapore, but it's cheap, clean, and a great stopover. The food scene is underrated (nasi lemak, roti canai, satay).
- •Petronas Towers and KLCC park
- •Batu Caves (Hindu temple, 272 steps)
- •Jalan Alor street food market
- •Central Market and Chinatown for shopping
