At the heart of Kuala Lumpur’s bustling Chinatown, you’ll find a lively shopping area where stores offer a wide range of fabrics, clothing, shoes, and handbags—many of which are open to bargaining.
This area is also well-known for its jewelry shops, offering beautifully crafted gold pieces and gemstone-studded designs. Nepalese traders add to the cultural mix by selling rare ethnic jewelry from India and Myanmar, as well as unique wall hangings, religious ornaments, antiques, teapots, and more.
Street vendors fill the roads, selling everything from dried foods, herbs, fruits, and fresh flowers to traditional medicinal items. By evening, this already busy street transforms into a vibrant shopping carnival, with stalls offering ethnic products, clothing, cosmetics, watches, leather goods, and more.
Located at the intersection of Jalan Tun H.S. Lee and Jalan Cheng Lock is the Central Market Annexe (also known as the Selangor and Federal Shopping Centre). Inside, you’ll find numerous small shops selling everything from hair accessories, fashion, and shoes to handbags. There are also gift stores, music shops, bookstores, and toy shops—making it a great spot for all ages to enjoy.
