Chow Kit is actually a place name and located in the Kuala Lumpur city center Malaysia. Chow Kit is popular in Kuala Lumpur because here you can buy lots of cheap stuff like used garments and fresh vegetables or grocery products.
If you the first timer here, you may think that the main road you see there is Chow Kit Road but the road is actually Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

Chow Kit Road or Jalan Chow Kit is the short road off Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and if you walk along this main road you’ll see this road sign in the picture below.
This is the actual Chow Kit Road
In Chow Kit you can find the hotel like Cititel Express for your stay and Chow Kit is accessible from Bukit Bintang by using the monorail system.

You can also easily find the cheap garment sellers at the roadside of Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. Many supermarkets cannot stay long in business here due to the fierce price competition with the small shops around here. So that’s why you can see Mydin Store is still there because they apply the wholesale price of their products.

Pekeliling Bus Station at Jalan Pekeliling, Kuala Lumpur is dedicated for those who want to get the express bus to the destinations in Pahang or even Gua Musang in Kelantan.

If you are foreigners and this your first time in Malaysia, I can tell you the destinations in Pahang include Raub, Kuala Lipis, Kuantan, Temerloh and Bandar Pusat Jengka. If your destination is Kuantan, you need to check with the counter where you need to catch the bus whether at Pudu Raya Bus Terminal or at this Pekeliling Bus Station.

This Pekeliling bus station is easily accessible from Puduraya by using the Plaza Rakyat LRT station and you reach the Pekeliling by stopping at Titiwangsa LRT Station.
I usually go back to my hometown in Raub, Pahang by using the Pahang Central Bus and the journey takes around 2 and half hours up to 3 hours to reach the Raub town.
There are some bus ticket counters there and maybe numbering around 10 and as I said the destinations will be in Pahang and Gua Musang in Kelantan.

However you can still try to buy the tickets from the more popular Pudu Raya Bus Terminal and this bus station at Pekeliling seems to be well known only by local Malaysia people.
