Unwinding at Kwai Chai Hong: My Favorite Night Out in Kuala Lumpur
#nightlife #100waysoftravel #kualalumpur
My favorite nightlife experience in Kuala Lumpur is heading to Kwai Chai Hong with my friends. The atmosphere there is lively yet relaxed, and we love exploring the area’s unique and vibrant bars. We usually pick a cozy spot, order our drinks, and settle in for the evening. The music adds the perfect backdrop to our night as we chat, laugh, and enjoy the atmosphere of these bars, each with its own character and charm. It’s the ideal place to unwind and spend the entire night in great company.

Kuala Lumpur | Ghost Lane: Historical Culture, Experience the Unique Charm!
Hey, buddies! Have you ever heard of Ghost Lane in Kuala Lumpur? It's a little alley full of history and stories! Although the name sounds a bit scary, it's actually because there used to be a lot of children playing here on rainy days, and the elders called them 'ghost kids', and that's how the alley got its name!
Walking through Ghost Lane, you can see many beautiful murals and graffiti that are full of historical flavor, making you want to stop and take photos. This place is located between Theatre Lane and Petaling Street, and you can even get a distant view of the world's second tallest building, Merdeka 118!
In addition to the beautiful scenery, there are also many traditional Chinese buildings and cultural elements preserved here, such as old theatres, ancient shops, teahouses, temples, etc. Their architectural style and decorations all showcase the unique cultural charm of the Chinese community. If you come to Kuala Lumpur, why not visit Ghost Lane and feel its unique charm and historical atmosphere?

This is a small area where the walls are very decorated with scenes of antiquity. We met the artist there too, and he seems to add colors to those parts that faded. There are a lot of tourists taking pictures here, so it's very difficult to get a clean shot. I have to wait and I hope they don’t take too long.

Mural Art in Kuala Lumpur
#weekendgetaways Kwai Chai Hong which translates to little demon alley located in a quiet corner of Kuala Lumpur. The alley brings you back in time to the era of the 1960s of Malaysia.
The alley inspired by old Chinese heritage showing the hobbies and lifestyle of people from our yesteryears like an uncle playing the erhu, children playing on the streets, the old streets hawker vendors of Malaysia.
It was a fun small corner where you can pose with these murals which just leaves a legacy of what Malaysia used to be and allow younger folks like myself to take in the sights of how Malaysia used to be in the 1960s.

Hipster Chinatown Back Alley: Kwai Chai Hong
If you’re shopping along Petaling Street or checking out the cafes and old school stores in KL’s Chinatown, consider making a detour to Kwai Chai Hong. Located mere steps away from Pasar Seni LRT, Kwai Chai Hong is a hipster back alley decorated in colourful lanterns.
During the day, you can admire and snap photographs of the lovely restored shophouses and beautiful wall murals.

For example, a Mid Autumn exhibition was on display during my visit, hence the giant moon and traditional gates. Best of all, entrance is free of charge!

Arts Hunt @ KL
Whole stretch of Kwai Chai Hong is filled with artistic graffiti, pictures and art design. It is so interesting to walk through the area while waiting for our queue in hainam coffee place.
Kwai Chai Hong depict the live of old chinese people in Malaysia, while the rest of place trying to sync with some art pieces, drawings on its building wall or some ornament place outside its store/restaurants.
Around there there is this artistic kafei dian, very green but too much decoration of fake greens. Food wise also my friends don't really like it so we skipped that place.

Play in Kuala Lumpur.
Kuala Lumpur, as the capital and largest city of Malaysia, is full of rich cultural heritage and unique charm. Its numerous cultural heritages and tourist attractions attract countless tourists. When you travel to Kuala Lumpur, there are some places that are worth exploring.
First of all, the majestic Petronas Twin Towers are a must-see. These skyscrapers were once one of the tallest buildings in the world, and they still stand on the Kuala Lumpur skyline, ranking 16th in the world. After purchasing tickets, you can climb the observation deck and overlook the magnificent scenery of Kuala Lumpur, experiencing the breathtaking feeling.
Then, you can walk into the historic Ghost Alley. This ancient alley in downtown Kuala Lumpur has a history of 140 years. Despite the passage of time, it still retains many old architectural styles. After careful renovation, Ghost Alley has become more beautiful, attracting many tourists to check in and take photos. There is no entrance fee here, so you can visit freely and feel the weight and beauty of history.
After visiting the attractions in the city center, you can head to Putrajaya. Putrajaya is the administrative center of Kuala Lumpur and a federal territory of Malaysia. There are many famous attractions waiting for you to explore. For example, the pink mosque with a pink exterior. This building is modeled after the Hassan Mosque in Morocco and is popular with tourists for its unique appearance. When visiting, please pay attention to the opening hours and dress code of the mosque.
In addition, Putrajaya Lake is another must-see attraction. As an important venue for water sports, Putrajaya Lake is also one of the classic locations for photographing the Pink Mosque. Standing by the lake, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mosque and the lake.
In terms of squares, Independence Square is one of the places you must visit. This square in downtown Kuala Lumpur is one of the largest squares in the world, with buildings such as the National Monument of Malaysia. The two different styles of buildings on the square are impressive: on one side are European-style lawns and Dutch-style buildings; on the other side are traditional Abdul Samad Mosque-style buildings.
Finally, Malaysia-China Friendship Park is also worth a visit. This park was built to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malaysia and China, and it is full of the characteristics of Lingnan gardens in China. The park has beautiful scenery and a pleasant environment, making it a great place to relax.
Whether you want to experience the breath of history or admire modern architecture, you can find your interests in Kuala Lumpur. I wish you a pleasant journey and a rewarding trip!

Discovering Gui Zai Alley in Kuala Lumpur
Nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, Gui Zai Alley is a narrow alleyway, adorned with traditional lanterns and vibrant murals. Felt as though it transports you back in time, offering a glimpse into KL’s rich heritage.
Just a short stroll from Gui Zai Alley, you'll find a well-known eatery serving one of Kuala Lumpur's beloved treats: Hainan Kaya Toast. Perfectly toasted bread generously slathered with kaya (a rich and fragrant coconut jam) and a generous pat of butter. The contrast of the crispy toast with the creamy, sweet-salty spread is a delight to the senses.
Pair your kaya toast with a cup of traditional Malaysian coffee or tea, and you have the perfect start to your day.
