Art Street Stroll🎨

Colorful Kuantan City Walk: Art, Towers & Urban Charm 🎨🌆

Stroll through Kuantan’s city core and uncover two local gems: Kuantan Art Street and the striking Kuantan 188 Tower! Perfect for travelers craving creative energy, urban vibes, and panoramic views.

Start at Kuantan Art Street (Lorong Seni, Jalan Taman), open all day—no entry fee! Check out the vibrant murals and quirky installations, each hiding local culture and stories. Must-do: Pose by the “I Love Kuantan” wall or the dreamy riverfront scenes; early morning or late afternoon brings soft lighting and fewer crowds for Insta-worthy shots. My tip: Hunt for the latest street art updates—artists sometimes refresh their works, so snap your favorites before they change.

Next, head to Kuantan 188 (Jalan Besar)—the city’s tallest landmark. Open daily (Mon-Thu 10am–10pm, Fri-Sun 10am–midnight; admission RM95), it’s the spot for sweeping city and Sungai Kuantan views. Ride the glass elevator for a thrill, and don’t miss sunset from the Sky Deck—golden hour is magic! Remember, tripods aren’t allowed, and the outdoor deck can be breezy, so lightweight jackets help after dark. Buy tickets in advance on busy weekends to skip queuing.

Wrap up with a leisurely city walk between the two. Watch for local cafes and snack stalls tucked along offbeat alleys—the coconut shakes near the tower are my go-to refresher.

Precautions: Watch your step on rain-slick alleys during monsoon season, and keep valuables secure in the art street crowds.
