Bukit Bintang (Star Hill) – also known as the Golden Triangle – is home to a cluster of major shopping malls and many excellent places to eat and drink, not least of which is Jln Alor, KL's most famous food street. KLCC, which stands for Kuala Lumpur City Centre, is the vast development anchored by the Petronas Towers.

The Sights in a Day

MHead to KLCC and start the day with a tour of the Petronas Towers. Afterwards, browse the shops in Suria KLCC and see a free art exhibition at the excellent Galeri Petronas.

RJoin local office workers for a vegetarian lunch at the Dharma Realm Guan Yin Sagely Monastery. Take a stroll around KLCC Park, then take a look at contemporary Malaysian art at the ILHAM. Join the 3pm tour of the Malay-style wooden house Rumah Penghulu Abu Seman, or learn about sea life at Aquaria KLCC.

NAfter dinner at Bijan, go mall-hopping at Pavilion KL, Starhill Gallery and Lot 10, then head to Jln Mesui for the bars; Pisco Bar is a good choice. Also check out No Black Tie for its jazz and classical concerts.
