Lebuh Pudu, Kuala Lumpur

Lebuh Pudu, Kuala Lumpur (6 July, 2016)


Lebuh Pudu, often also written as Leboh Pudu, is a relatively narrow street in the inner city of Kuala Lumpur. It connects Jalan Hang Kasturi in the west to Jalan Tun Perak in the east. In between, it forms intersections with Jalan Tun HS Lee, Jalan Petaling and Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin. A section near the Jalan Tun Perak junction has a covered canopy for the bus station. At its western end, Lebuh Pudu bends sharply to continue as Jalan Hang Kasturi.

Traffic flow on Lebuh Pudu is one way. Emerging from Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin, traffic continues in opposite directions towards Jalan Tun Perak and Jalan Hang Kasturi. The road is two lanes throughout.

Lebuh Pudu appeared on the earliest maps as Pudoh Street. It was then written as Pudu Street, before becoming Leboh Pudu and/or Lebuh Pudu. Its name in Cantonese is Bun3 Saan1 Baa1 Lou6 (written in Jyutping romanisation), which means "half a jungle road". In Hokkien, it is pronounced as Pnua1 Snua3pa3 Lor33 (written in Taiji romanisation), and in Mandarin, it is 半山芭路 or Bàn Shānbā Lù (in Pinyin romanisation).

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
