Jalan Panggung literally means theater road in Bahasa Malaysia. This is one of the oldest streets in the old quarter of Kuala Lumpur, a few hundred metres from Kuala Lumpur's famed Chinatown ( Petaling Street ). In this video you will witness sketch artists in action right at the corner of this street ! You will noticed too that redevelopment has taken over this historic area and these young and old art fans are in a "hurry" to capture the old glory before the crane takes over ! With them is a "real", seasoned artist himself, Mr Sim. He is seen giving on-the-spot art sketching lesson to these participants in the hot sun ! There's always something new to learn from him, plus a bit of history about the buildings here too !
Besides the presence of some old colonial buildings various spots throughout this area you will find many arts and crafts retailers too. This is traditionally the "art scene" or art culture street of Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown, now dotted with Wi-Fi cafes and boutique hotels. Better hurry here and capture some memories of this area before the concrete mixer arrives !
