11) Kwai Chai Hong, Lorong Panggung, Kuala Lumpur - in Cantonese dialect, Kwai Chai Hong literally means "Ghost Lane" or "Little Demon Alley", a neglected lane once filled with gamblers & drug addicts, the alley is now restored in Chinatown area as a tourist attraction; the Lady sculpture (using over hundred pieces of broken porcelain bowls to make this lady figure) & banners installation at Kwai Chai Hong pays tribute to the "Wan Shou Wu Jiang" porcelain design !
12) Petaling Street Market (Chee Cheong Kai, Chinatown), Kuala Lumpur - a bustling & popular place for tourists to haggle for anythings from food to clothing, a great place to show off your haggling skills to get the best bargain for any items you favour to buy !

18) Jalan Tun H S Lee, Kuala Lumpur - formerly known as High Street, this 1.8km long street was once upon a time an important commercial district in Kuala Lumpur, a number of the pre-war shophouses have been refurbished & a few operating as cafes & backpacker's hostels ! While you are in old High Street, keep your spirit high & enjoy a cup of Expresso or local Hainanese coffee to pass your wonderful time here ....
19) Cityscape in City Center, Kuala Lumpur - a mixed of new & old buildings including sky scrappers ! Migrant workers like to loiter the city center near the touristy places especially during the Sunday weekends & public holidays !
Another great Saturday weekend for me after visiting the KL Forest Eco Park, Museum & Canopy Walk, St John Institution, St Andrew Church, Convent Bukit Nanas, Telekom Museum, Kwai Chai Hong, Petaling Street (Chinatown), Kasturi Walk, Jalan Tun H S Lee & City Center, Kuala Lumpur (these touristy places have a mix of colonial heritage, cultural & nature traits for tourists to appreciate & admire) ! After approx 4km of morning walking tour (to & fro), it is time to go home & enjoy a home cooked lunch in the comfort of my home sweet home ! Looking forward to more weekend visits in April & beyond !
