Really enjoyed wandering through Chinatown and seeing the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, such beautiful detail. Was a bit rushed through the Central Market though.
It was a good overview of KL's heritage. Central Market was a bit crowded but interesting to see the local crafts. Learned a lot about the different religions coexisting.
