Catering for all ages and tastes
It's a city that's as complex as it is contradictory - the influence of its neighbours is never far away. From the kaleidoscopic street markets of Chinatown, to the neon-bathed nightclubs, reminiscent of Bangkok, in the Golden Triangle, the soaring skyscrapers to the serene Hindu temples, Kuala Lumpur confounds at every turn.
