Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown
Rapid KL (formerly Putra LRT) Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown is located within a few minutes' walk from Pasar Seni Rapid KL station where is next one of KL Sentral station. Several budget hotels are located in this area, I think you can find easily them.

Batu Caves
Batu Caves are only 13 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur's central business district and just outside the city limits, these famous caverns are easily accessible. The main Temple Cave has a ceiling looming over 100metres overhead, and features ornate Hindu shrines. To reach it one has to climb a steep flight of 272 steps, a feat performed by as many as 100,000 devotes during the annual Thaipusam festival.
To get to Batu Caves takes Rapid Bus No.11 at Bangkok Bank bus terminal near Plaza Rakyat Rapid KL station. As you buy a ticket in the bus, you should ask a conductor to tell you upon arrival. So Plaza Rakyat Rapid KL station, Puduraya Bus Terminal and Bangkok Bank are walkable from Chinatown.

excursion to Genting Highlands
  • If you use an Express Bus Service on Fridays and weekends, it would be better to reserve a bus ticket at the counter because of crowded.
  • I suggest you leave luggage at KLIA or KL Sentral station, and then bring only hand-carried baggage to Genting Highlands. It's no problem to wear casual dresses in the casino, but it seems to be unacceptable T-shirt and shorts. Ten years ago long-sleeved batiks were rented for visitors, but such services are not available today.
