From Chinatown, we walked north to Merdeka Square where a cluster of historical buildings are found. We were supposed to visit Masjid Jamek the biggest mosque in Kuala Lumpur but unfortunately it was closed. We continued to walk towards Sultan Abdul Samad building.

National Textile Museum of Malaysia
The National Textile Museum is situated close to Merdeka Square and
several other attractions so visiting here can easily be combined with
them. The museum basically displays a lot of batik fabric and some gold & precious stone accessories. The entrance is free.
Kuala Lumpur's Big Ben
Just beside the textile center is the Sultan Abdul Samad building. Dubbed as the Big Ben of Kuala Lumpur because of its four face clock tower similar to London's Big Ben.The building has a shiny copper dome and a clock
tower which is 40 meters high. The building serves as a backdrop for many essential events
for the country and one of the most photograph landmark in Kuala Lumpur. Merdeka Square is just right across Sultan Abdul Samad building.We didn't bother to visit it because it started to drizzle.
Just a walk away from Sultab Abdul Samad building is Little India. There are numerous stores selling clothes, spices, souvenirs and some different Indian items. Great deal of clothing can also be found here.
