Kuala Lumpur - Post Report Question and Answers
What are some interesting/fun things to do in the area? Can you recommend any “hidden gems"?
Tons of nice islands and scuba diving. - May 2022
Georgetown, Penang, is probably one of the most photogenic places you can visit, with great food, colonial row houses, and amazing street art. The islands off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia have white sand beaches and excellent snorkeling, and you can visit some of the largest cave systems in the world in the rainforest of Borneo in East Malaysia. For a quick day trip from KL, head south to the port city of Malacca for great food and vibrant, historic colonial flair. - May 2018
Lots to do in the city, every weekend there is something going on. Many parks, museums, concerts, etc. - Apr 2017
Central Market sells locally made clothing and crafts, it also has a great food court with local, western and SE Asian food choices. Central Market is in a two-story air conditioned building and just outside it is a quick walk to Chinatown, more outdoor market stalls and some great bakeries and florists. KL Bird Park has been a favorite with visitors because although it's enclosed it feels quite spacious. There are places just a short drive outside of the city for hiking and swimming in outdoor waterfalls. There are many Chinese Temples, Hindu Shrines (the Batu Caves is one of the most sacred Hindu places outside of India). and Mosques to visit around the city. The Petronas Towers offer excellent views of the city. There are several bars/restaurants around KLCC park that offer lovely views of the city and Petronas Towers (SkyBar at Traders Hotel, Fuegos, and Helipad just to name a few). - Apr 2017
Malaysia is full of travel opportunities: you can do everything from Legoland to shopping trips to canopy walks through the jungle. - May 2016
Travel outside of KL! If you can only stay within KL, there are malls. Lots and lots of malls. - Feb 2015
What do you want to do? Eat? Shop? Mountain climb? Surf? Adventure sports? It's all here! - Aug 2013
Again, it depends on your interest. The diversity of Chinese, Indian and Malay culture and the mixture between the past and recent race in urbanization provides ample things to do. - Aug 2011
Travel south east Asia dirt cheap! - Mar 2011
Travel. Air Asia is based in Malaysia and tickets can be cheap - some people do have problems with flights being delayed or canceled. Swim year round. Bring all your bathing gear. - May 2009
Malaysians love their shopping malls and they have a lot of them. My main past time is eating. There is a lot of good food here, both local and international. - Mar 2009
There are cheap trips available to all parts of the country and throughout Southeast Asia from here. Lots of cultural aspects in KL, some concerts, but Muslim extremeist protest the better groups as corruptive of Islamic values, which tend to perform in Singapore rather than in Malaysia. - Jul 2008
Lots and lots: music events, movies in brand new state of the art movie theaters. All movies are in English with subtitles. Shopping, malls, and travel to many other lovely places in Malaysia and the region. - May 2008
