Description
One way to learn about a country is to go where the locals go. Enhance your travel journey by exploring colourful Chow Kit wet market with variety of meat, seafood and vegetables and tropical fruits of Malaysia. We may get lucky with some seller offering free fruit tasting!
Then, while heading towards Kampung Baru, we will pass by Gurdwara Sahib and Jamek Mosque with some information shared by the guide.
After that, we will proceed to the arch of Kampung Baru. It has a long history from the year 1900 until today. Kampung Baru also has its own charm because it provides countryside-ish vibe and less touristy place within Kuala Lumpur.
We will walk through certain parts of Kampung Baru with traditional Malay house and food lane with local shops selling variety of traditional kuih (savoury or sweet mini cakes).
Then, we continue the tour to Saloma pedestrian bridge. This is the best spot to experience the contrast of our city while enjoying the aerial view of Kampung Baru and of course the star of our heart - Petronas Twin Towers.
