Budget way Getting To Mines Wonderland and MIECC via train (pictures and directions)

I went to NAC (National Achievers Congress) 2015 last weekend at MINES International Exhibition Convention Centre (MIECC). The first day i drove  my car to get there but the following 2 days I decided to take the train  to instead. I took the KTM train to the KTM Serdang station and it was about 10 minutes walk to get to MINES. The path was abit tricky and I managed to get there using trial and error. Here's the direction to get to MINES from the KTM station :-

After exiting the KTM station, you will face the main highway. You will need to get cross this highway. On your right there is an overhead pedestrian bridge. Use that to cross the bridge to the other side.






         Picture: Overhead pedestrian bridge. Here you can have a good view of the highway below. 


After crossing the road and at the end of this bridge, you should see a 7-11 on the way there. On the left, there's a bus stop area with taxis waiting for customers.




Turn to you right and cross the road. Walk straight up (passing 7-11 and KK Mart on your right) and you will come across a junction. Turn right.


You should see a tall white building in front of you. That's the high-rise condominium called The Heritage Residence. Walk all the way to the end. You will need to enter this condominium compound.




Cross this wooden bridge to get into the condominium compound.



After crossing the bridge, turn left and walk straight but lean more towards your right.



Walk all the way straight until the end, You see a pathway into the condomium on your right. Turn right and go inside here.



Just walk all the way to the end of this pathway, inside the condominium building.

Walk all the way straight to a dead end with a small river stream right in front of you. Look towards your left and you see 2 tunnels. Walk into this tunnel.




After exiting this tunnel, The Mines shopping mall will be right in front of you.

To get to MIECC, I actually took the escalator up to the 4th floor and then walked to the other end and looked for a directional sign to get to MIECC. There was a bookshop (Chapter One) nearby the hidden walkway into MIECC.
