Petaling Street Market (Chinatown Night Market)

KL's most iconic street market stretches along the covered Petaling Street and surrounding lanes, operating from morning through late night with vendors selling everything from replica goods and clothing to fresh fruit and street food. The daytime market is more relaxed for browsing produce and snacks, while evenings bring a lively night-market energy with hawker stalls and tourist-oriented merchandise. Bargaining is expected and even encouraged, but be realistic about authenticity on branded goods — most are replicas. It is genuinely atmospheric and a rite of passage for any KL visit.
