Bukit Bintang

The area has long been Kuala Lumpur's most prominent retail belt that is home to many landmark shopping centres, al-fresco cafés, bars, night markets, food street, mamak stalls as well as hawker-type eateries.

Since June 2021, the local municipal and authority, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), has created a Shibuya-style pedestrian crossing at the junction of Bukit Bintang, located in front of the iconic McDonald's Bukit Bintang outlet, just below the KL Monorail Line.

In 1947, Hong Kong media mogul Shaw built the famous and popular Bukit Bintang Amusement Park.

Many major nightlife events take place here, such as the New Year's countdown, Merdeka eve celebrations, street concerts and parties.

The annual Malaysian F1 Grand Prix pit stop and Guinness St Patrick's Day celebrations are held here too.

Imbi is a commercial area located near Bukit Bintang and being a popular tourist spot, the district is especially crowded during public holidays and peak hours.

Restaurants dedicated to Arabian gastronomy have been sprouting along with the core of the Bintang Walk of late due to a recent general initiative to lure Arab tourists to this region.

However, plenty of trendy restaurants cater to international fare, especially in the BB park area.Hutong (Chinese: 胡同) is referred to as Malaysia's first gourmet heritage village, a food court inspired by the Old China influences.

Its axis is located along the lower section of Bintang Walk, and its concept revolves around social dining and cultural themes.

It hosts themed restaurants in a semi-open-air setting that serves up mainly foreign foods, including French and German cuisines.

It boasts pre-war, colonial buildings which have been refurbished into upmarket restaurants and pubs, serving up Western dining.

The street is also home to brothels as well as massage parlors offering "happy endings", it is best known as one of Kuala Lumpur's red light districts.

The food served in local hawker stalls is generally cleaner than their counterparts in Malaysia's less-developed neighbouring countries.

Among the claimed benefits of the foot, massages are better blood circulation, cures to specific ailments and a balanced, detoxified body.

In these shops, patrons sit on reclining long chairs and spend up to an hour or more getting their feet treated to a thorough massage.

The walkway is also linked to the  MR7  Raja Chulan Monorail station , Impiana Hotel and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
