Petaling Street, the heart of KL's Chinatown, is a sensory overload of neon lights, hawker stalls, and bargain hunters. The covered market offers everything from fake designer bags to traditional Chinese herbs. Street food is a highlight, try char kway teow, satay, and fresh sugarcane juice. The area is also home to historical temples and the iconic Merdeka Square nearby.
