    Free Kuala Lumpur Walking Tour: East-West Connection

    As an expat, I’ve been to many places in Kuala Lumpur but I don’t really know the history of it. If that’s also the case with you, why not join a free tip-based KL walking tour?

So, last weekend my sister told me that there’s a hidden alley in Chinatown that would be one of the best hangout places in Kuala Lumpur. Apparently, a hidden alley just got a makeover earlier this year and it looks fabulously vintage! The makeover project dubbed Project Kwai Chai Hong has restored 10 shophouses and a laneway hidden between Lorong Panggung and Jalan Petaling. Let’s take a look at…
