Bentong is a popular tourist spot in Pahang known for its good food and night markets. I had in the past visited Tropicale Colmar in Berjaya Hills and Genting Highlands but somehow never ventured further along Highway E8 leading to Kuantan.

In this part, I am exploring the most popular tourist attractions in Kuala Lumpur located on the outskirts of the city of Kuala Lumpur. You are planning to spend a day in Kuala Lumpur and planning to visit some of the best places in the time you have. I have selected places that will appeal to both solo travellers as well as family travellers to Kuala Lumpur. 

Are you planning a night of fun exploring lively bars and clubs? Changkat Bukit Bintang is the place to look out for. Bukit Bintang is the heart of tourist activities in Kuala Lumpur. The famous food street Jalan Alor is located in Bukit Bintang and is a must-visit location for food lovers.

The food stalls and restaurants stay open until 2 am. The number of visitors in 2023 exceeded the tourist numbers experienced pre-covid, making Kuala Lumpur a great place to visit in 2024. Malaysia remains popular with honeymooners from the Middle East and Muslim family travellers looking for a destination offering halal food and travel options.
