Top 25 experiences #4: Kaleidoscope of culture - Central Market, China Town and Little India

ok. Now its number four as recommended by Tourism Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur's cultural enclaves are some of the city's most popular tourist hotspots.

Central Market, with its 1930s art deco stylye is a prominent heritage landmark and a great place to find local arts and crafts.  There is wide selection of local delicacies sold along Kasturi Walk, a covered walkway just outdide the central market.

Just down the road, Chinatown is a bustling cultural and shopping spot, with a number of heritage buildings, clan houses and temples.  It is more happening during the annual Lantern Parade and Chinese New Year celbrations! Lantern here and there!!

Meanwhile, the little India in Brickfield offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Indian community, from its coloring clothing to fiery curries. Ouch! Spicy!! :)
