關帝廟
Located across the road from the Sri Mahariamman Temple, this is one of two 19th-century Chinese temples in the district. Built in 1888, this temple is dedicated to the Han Dynasty/Three Kingdoms figure Guan Yu (aka Kwan Kung). Though not as well-known as the Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, it is still very popular. This temple is also the office of the Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Kwong Siew Association.
Mural Alley
A back alley with beautiful murals depicting historic life in Chinatown. A few food and beverage outlets are located in the alley as well.
Victoria Institution first generation building, 1894-1929
It is used as a theatre and arts centre. This building is notable for being the first site of the Victoria Institution until 1929 (refer below). In 1911 it was witness to a sensational murder case - the Ethel Proudlock case. The building was once part of a larger school complex; the other buildings were torn down in the 1960s. Gutted in a fire in 1999, it was refurbished after acquisition by the government several years ago.
