About

Behind every weathered shophouse and narrow alleyway in Chinatown lies a story of arrival, resilience, and reinvention.

Join seasoned storyteller and cultural guide Jane Rai as she leads you through the vibrant streets of Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, uncovering the rich histories of one of the city's oldest and most storied neighbourhoods.

This is not just a walk. It is a journey through time. Trace the footsteps of Chinese migrants who helped shape Kuala Lumpur's commercial heart, explore traditional trades, and listen to the lesser-known stories of community and cultural exchange.

Whether you are a curious local or a visiting explorer, this experience will open your eyes to the soul of Chinatown, where heritage is alive in every corner.
