Explore: Golden Triangle & KLCC
The intersection of Jln Sultan Ismail and Jln Bukit Bintang marks the heart of the Golden
Triangle, Kuala Lumpur's premier shopping, dining and nightlife district. Studded with
office towers, condominiums and glitzy shopping malls, such as Pavilion KL where you
could spend all day, the district actively courts Middle Eastern visitors with its sidewalk
cafes at which patrons puff on
shisha
pipes.
Changat Bukit Bintang is the city's most raucous nightlife area and has several good
restaurants, while nearby Jln Mesui is more laid-back. The icing on the Golden Triangle's
edible cake remains the food street Jln Alor and - our favourite reason for getting up early
- the breakfast stalls at Imbi Market.
An elevated, covered walkway links Bukit Bintang with Kuala Lumpur City Centre
(KLCC), anchored by the iconic Petronas Towers. Also here is a spacious landscaped
park, huge convention centre, aquarium, excellent children's museum, world-class concert
hall and Suria KLCC, another of KL's great shopping malls.
Out towards Jln Tun Razak you'll find a few interesting things to see and do, as well as
in the Imbi and Pudu areas, the former the location of major construction projects for
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations and the city's new financial district, Tun Razak Ex-
change.
