Kuala Lumpur is an impressive city

I recently visited Malaysia's biggest city, Kuala Lumpur on a budget priced Gold Coast-KL flight with Air AsiaX. KL impressed me with its modern, clean appearance and great shopping centres as well as some worthwhile market facilities for a bit of bargain hunting. The night market in Petaling Street in Chinatown was the favourite. Above is a five minute travel video I produced on KL. Hope you enjoy watching it!
