It is an Instagrammable port for outfit of the day (OOTD). They have a lane for arts, a small gallery. It's giving the industrial vibe, just that, visitors need to be alert for the hazard surrounding the areas, since it's not fully cemented. Anyone can also play the piano located there, it's an entertainment for everyone. However, I believe, it is needed for permission to show your talent This is my go-to bookstore since Bookxcess has sales on the products most of the time, I can buy books at cheaper price. And the other day, my boyfriend bought for me puzzles book for RM 12.90 for a set of 3 books. And the staffs were very helpful to help us locate puzzle books. They know where to find it very quickly. For those who wanted to read, study and do some work, they have Piazza and also in-house F&B. The banana loft was incredibly amazing ♡ #tripblazers #awesomepic

📍 Malaysia 🚩Kuala Lumpur 📷 #petronastwintowers #putrajayamalaysia #batucaves #bookxcesskl #nusentralmall #gentinghighland 🚇 Fly - Skytrain - Train - Walk 🍜 #chinatownkl #marrybrown 🏠 Travelodge Chinatown Kl 💡Bring an umbrella! This was a trip with very little time to prepare because I didn't know where to go. But I have to say that Malaysia is the place that answers the needs of a spur-of-the-moment tour. Just 3 days and 2 nights is enough. There is time to go when you're bored and where to go. And when I went, it was during May 9-11, 2015. - Thai Airways tickets are not expensive at all. Very worthwhile. - The exchange rate is x 7.7, which is quite good. - Food Let's go. I didn't do any homework. If I wanted to eat something, I would eat it. Don't miss the Musang King durian. It's expensive, but you have to try it!! - Traveling by skytrain, underground train is a bit confusing. Phi Kul told me one thing, but the truth is another. Let's just say that you won't get lost, it's easy, and it's cheap. - Accommodation: Book with Trip app. It's good. The accommodation I went to was really good. - Where did you go? You can see it from the pictures. If anyone wants to do their homework and has any questions, just type and ask. I'm a newbie and I'm not good at reviewing yet. ^^

I absolutely love BookXcess stores! Every branch I’ve visited feels like stepping into a wonderland for book lovers. The massive spaces, creative designs, and maze-like bookshelves make browsing a real adventure. Plus, the prices are super affordable, and there’s a wide range of English books for all ages. My favourite location is the BookXcess in Lalaport Mall. It’s air-conditioned, spacious, and very easy to navigate. I noticed it draws more fellow bookworms than tourists, which makes the atmosphere calm and inviting—perfect for taking my time and discovering new titles. On the other hand, the RexKL branch offers a completely different vibe. It's built inside an old cinema and designed like a real book maze. Walking through it felt like an adventure in itself, with books around every corner. But I have to admit—it was quite hot and crowded when I went, and finding a specific book wasn’t the easiest. If you're sensitive to heat, I’d suggest bringing a fan, some water, and preparing for a bit of a crowd. Still, the unique layout and vintage vibes make it a fun place to explore—and it’s definitely very Instagram-worthy! #travel #thingstodo #malaysia
