There are alot of stalls here which sell fake goods like purses, wallets, belts, shoes, trainers, Tshirts, womens clothing, sports clothing and jewellery. Although there are lots of stalls during the day, in the evening the number of stalls feels like it doubles. Most of the stalls are pretty much the same, so if you don't get the price you want in one, just move along and try another stall. Remember to haggle, most prices are atleast 50 percent less then the original price quoted. There are some food places and a spa or two around too, but this area is mainly for the shopping. The prices and goods you get here, you won't be able to find that easily else where except maybe central market.

The area attracts many locals and visitors in search of bargain items, including inexpensive dresses, sunglasses, shoes, fabrics and souvenirs.
You can get anything from food to bags and sunglasses to handicrafts all along Petaling Street.
The police is taking action against the illegal cd's and dvd's. I think the copying is done in Malaysia. The selling
of these illegal cd's and dvd's is also in Petaling Street. I don't know, how it works, but................ the salesmen get a phone call, that the police
is coming in a quarter of an hour. In a few minutes they break up and the van is loaded and of they go. Then the police arrives and find no cd or dvd
on the market. I think their informant must in or near the police station.
Be warned though that it can get rather crowded sometimes. You should be prepared to sweat it out. The crowd and the noise are really part of the fun of visiting Petaling Street. Without these, it just wouldn’t be right.
Chinatown is also known for its jewellery shops with their fascinating variety of fine jewellery items beautifully crafted in
gold and set with priceless gemstones.
You can also have a look out for Chinese pharmacies, that sell ginseng and all sort of traditional remedies for all sorts of
ailments.
There are many restaurants with a lot of delicious choices to choose from. Some
of the restaurants here have been operating for generations! We're sure, your dinner is fantastic. Look out for Yook Woo Hin restaurant on Petaling Street. It is one the longest surviving
family-run food places in KL. Expect queues, shouting and fantastic food.
