Off the beaten track in KL - art, hiking, make your own pewter dish

#kualalumpurguide
What else can you do apart from shopping and cafe-hopping in KL?

In Chinatown / Petaling Street:
● Graffiti and painting street art
● Art jamming at a studio
● Tea tasting

For those more adventurous, try hiking! About a 30-minute drive from Chinatown area:
● Bukit Sri Permata - there are some steep inclines and ground is quite sandy so you need proper shoes/gear
● Air Tejun Tujuh Puteri - waterfall that's along the same hiking trail - path can get pretty narrow in some areas

Quirky cafes / pewter-making workshop:
● Little Giraffe Story House - about 30-min drive from Chinatown area - chill cafe with local food and retro vibes
● Royal Selangor Visitor Centre - try your hand at making your own pewter dish!

Accommodation: B Hotel Kuala Lumpur - right in the middle of Petaling Street, where you can walk to several cafes and also near to the mrt station
