TEDxKL Adventure : Guided Heritage Tour of Kwai Chai Hong
Experience the history and stories of Kuala Lumpur’s Chinatown on an exclusive guided tour. Zeen Chang, co-founder and managing partner of Kwai Chai Hong, will lead TEDxKL participants through this restored heritage alleyway. During the walk, Zeen will share the origins of Petaling Street and Kwai Chai Hong – from its colorful, mischievous past to its revival as a vibrant cultural destination.
About Kwai Chai Hong:
Kwai Chai Hong is a heritage alley located between Lorong Panggung and Jalan Petaling. The project restored 10 old shophouses dating back to the late 1800s, turning a neglected back lane into a showcase for KL’s Chinatown culture. It features murals, art installations, and architectural details telling the story of Chinese settlers and local life.
