Malaysia, October 2010, Kuala Lumpur (KL) day 2.

The second day we went to Chinatown and made the walk recommended in the LP. It starts at the Masijid Jamek LRT station. First you see the old shop houses in Lebuh Ampang.

We stopped at the Sin Sze Si Ya temple founded in 1864 by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy. It is dedicated to patron deities of Sin Sze Ya and Si Sze Ya. The deities have guided Kapitan Yap Ah Loy to defeat the enemies and defend Kuala Lumpur during civil war (1879 – 1873).

The temple has witnessed the birth and growth of Kuala Lumpur.


We past a stoning herbal tea shop with big sparkling Copper jars.

We tried one cup of tea of each jar, it was so bitter that with no doubt it has healing abilities.

We made our way further down to Petaling Street were businesses of all kinds offers you what ever you can think about to unbeatable prices of course.

 

On the way to the Maharajaleta MRT station we stopped at the ancestral ornate Chan See Shu Yuen Temple. The figurines are of high details.

Then It was time to make our way to the Hang Tuah Bus terminal to get back to Port Dixon.

We had a double deck bus for the first part of the trip, and from Seremban a classic bus to Port Dixon.

From Port Dixon to the marina we were too late to take a bus and drove home in a taxi. The taxi was 2 MYR more expensive than the total bus fare for one person from KL to PD.
