Kuala Lumpur : Bintang Walk and Petronas Twin Towers
From our guesthouse in Pasar Seni, we rode the GOKL bus in going to Bukit Bintang. To further explore Kuala Lumpur, we started at Bintang Walk.
Let's start our Bintang Walk journey...

Bintang
Walk is Kuala Lumpur's premiere shopping and dining. It is located at
the heart of the city's "Golden Triangle". Bukit Bintang district
begins with Jalan Bukit Bintang which starts at Jalan Raja Chulan and
ends at Pudu Road. The malls surrounding Bintang Walk includes
Berjaya Times Square, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Imbi Plaza, Fahrenheit 88, Low
Yat Plaza, Starhill Gallery, Sungei Wang Plaza, Lot 10 and Pavilion KL.
Bintang Walk has been regarded as KL's most fashionable and most trendy shopping district. If
New York has Times Square, Kuala Lumpur has its own Bintang Walk. It becomes
very lively at night! Major celebrations like New Year countdown and
Merdeka eve celebrations as well as street concerts and fashion shows
are celebrated here. And what are we doing here? Actually we just
happen to pass by to reach Petronas Twin Towers.
We went inside one of the malls in Bintang Walk
