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.

A back alley with beautiful murals depicting historic life in Chinatown. A few food and beverage outlets are located in the alley as well.
An elaborate Hindu temple known as the starting point of the yearly Thaipusam pilgrimage to the Batu Caves, where Hindu devotees haul portable altars pierced to their skin with 108 lances. Check out the elaborate gopuram above the entrance. Note: wearing shoes into the temple grounds is prohibited. Shoe racks are available for rent at the temple entrance.
The clan house (kongsi) of the Chen (陳) family, this is the largest and oldest in KL, with the present version completed in 1906.
A Moorish-style masterpiece designed by Arthur Benison Hubback, a British Architectural Assistant to the Director of Public Works. As well as suburban trains and express trains to Ipoh, it houses a mini-museum of Malaysian railway history. It is one of three grand British-built railway stations on the Malayan railway network; the other two being Ipoh and the now-disused Tanjong Pagar Railway Station in Singapore. The station can be accessed by two pedestrian bridges from Pasar Seni metro station, thus serving as an interchange between the RapidKL metro networks and the KTM national rail network. Fun fact: The construction was delayed as its rooftop design did not meet British railway specifications. It had to be able to support snow a metre deep.
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.
(精武體育館)
Not quite a stadium, but more of a sports hall/badminton court and community centre for the local Chinese community. Do check out its public pool. Managed by the Chin Woo Athletic Association, founded by Chinese martial arts master Huo Yuanjia (remember the 2006 Jet Li film).
