The Titiwangsa Lake Garden is a great place to relax at and enjoy some recreational activities with friends and family. You can go canoeing, aqua-biking, enjoy a sprint on the jogging tracks, go horse riding, and kids can play at the radio control car racing track which is immense fun!

If you feel like doing nothing, grab some food and drinks sold near the lake, and sit by the lakeside enjoying your own little picnic. The park is in close proximity to the National Theatre and Art Gallery, so don’t forget to pay them a visit as well.

Something to look forward to every Wednesday is the Connaught Night Market, which is among the very popular places to visit in Kuala Lumpur.

Make sure to try out the Laksa and Satay here, as well as the creamy desserts. Also, be very careful with your personal belongings, because owing to the short duration of the market, it is extremely crowded, especially after 7:00 pm.
