Street Art : Kampung Cina Kuala Terengganu

KAMPUNG CINA, KUALA TERENGGANU

New attraction in Kuala Terengganu. Kalau lalu Kuala Terengganu jangan lupa singgah Kampung Cina. Menarik! Kalau nampak tanglung bergantungan di atas kepala, you are at the right place. Hihii..

Transforming back alley into street art places is now a trend. Good for attracting tourists and beautifying the city. It can also create the feeling of safety to those using the alleys. No more scary alleys! I've told you about Turtle Alley, now lets take a look at other famous alleys in Kampung Cina!

First, find the red phone booth in Kampung Cina. Fefeeling London sikit! Hahaa.. When you are in this alley, there are a lot of elements and backgrounds for you to take pictures. Love the cartoon and vintage signage backgrounds. There's also a wishing well back there. Ada yang campak coins kat dalam perigi tu. Jangan percaya yang bukan-bukan ya! Cukup untuk suka-suka. Tak perlu buat hajat dan kemudian campak duit, membazir. Hihii.. Ask from the One and only, Yang Maha Esa!

I really love this 'payung' alley or 'payang' lane. So beautiful! We had so much fun and took a lot of pictures at the alley. Get to meet Marilyn Monroe and Micheal Jackson here. Hahaa.. Jealous of my sister's photo with P Ramli in it. That was a recent visit of them to Kampung Cina. A lot more art have been added.

Batik alley is nice too! Very colourful. If you look up, you'll see patches of batik hanged over your head. On the wall there's a big and beautiful batik painting.

Negeri Pantai Timur is famous for Wau Bulan. Here in Kampung Cina there's a wau alley. Look up and you'll find the wau bulan. 

#lovelocklane #lovelockalley #lovelock #manggacinta #love #lock

Asalnya Love Lock orang gantung pada railing jambatan dan kemudian anak kuncinya dicampak ke dalam sungai di bawah. Couples clamped padlocks to the railings as tokens of their desire to be “locked in love forever.” But recently, one of the famous love lock bridge, the Pont des Arts in Paris, the love locks have been removed from bridges. Berat sangat! Colapse! They were replaced by temporary panels covered of graffiti. Huhuu.. 

Here in Kampung Cina you can do the love lock thing too! There's a railing for you to put your love lock. Where to throw the key? Go to the Jambatan Sultan Mahmud and throw the key into Terengganu River. Hihii.. 

I hate the mentality of some people, when they were supposed to write their names on the padlock but yet they wrote their names on the walls. Buruk mata memandang! Huhuu.. Not to forget, you can buy the 'mangga cinta' for RM10 or you can bring your own padlock.

Yang pasti banyak lagi yang menarik untuk dilawati dan diambil gambar. My informer my sister lives in Kuala Terengganu. From time to time I got updates of interesting places from her.

 She showed me her vespa..

I went for this vespa!

And one photo that I really like be in is a photo with this butterfly. I wanna make this exact pose by Amiry! Next visit it is.

Do visit Kampung Cina Kuala Terengganu and have fun strolling along the alleys there while eating keropok losong!

Street Art : Turtle Alley Kampung Cina

TURTLE ALLEY

Address:
Kampung Cina,

Along Jalan Bandar,
(formerly known as Jalan Kampung Cina)
Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu.

This is the front entrance of the Turtle Alley. Don't forget to take a selfie with the cute turtle there!

This stretch of narrow alley, approximately 50 meter long. It is hope that this alley will bring awareness to the public on the importance to save the beautiful creature. It has information on turtle conservation. I really did enjoy myself strolling along this alley, while at the same time find it very educational.

Don't forget to look down at your feet! 

 The starts of the walkway from the front entrance.

There are 28 turtle mosaics on the floor starting with this cute little fella.

On one side of the wall, there is a stretch of metallic plates mounted on the wall. The plates are based on the story of  Little Turtle Messenger. Take your time to read the stories told by Maya. Maya is the little girl depicted in the storybook written by Chan Eng Heng and illustrated by Tan Yisin.

An inspiring story about a dream that turns into reality. About Maya's effort to encourage others to save the turtles. 

At the end of the story line, you'll find this particular mosaic of Maya and the turtle, that was created and assembled by Tan Yisin in 2011.

On another side of the wall, there are another 31 turtle mosaics mounted on the wall. Some of them are accompanied by plates that provide information on the species. Some of the turtles are created for the fun purpose.

This mosaic here was created and assembled by Chan Eng Heng in 2011 as an expression of her 16 years involvement in a marine turtle conservation project at the Chagar Hutang Turtle Sanctuary in Redang Island, Terengganu. Each of the 16 hatchlings in the mosaic represents one year of hatchlings released from the egg protection and incubation program on the island. Close to half a million marine turtle eggs have been saved from human consumption and 400,000 hatchlings returned to the ocean. 

This large mosaic is also created by Chan Eng Heng featuring three cute pipping hatchlings hope to appeal to the public to stop eating turtle eggs. The Turtle Conservation Society of Malaysia is carrying out a campaign to get members of the public to make a life-long commitment to NOT eat turtle eggs.

Lets NOT eat turtle eggs!!

And lets be friends with the turtles!

Last but not least, take a great lot of pictures! There's turtle replica at the rear entrance. Mom was so happy to meet that fella back there. Hihiii..

The best angle from my sister and her husband.

Have fun!
