The street is located in Jonker district, known as China town, where Chinese merchants settled since centuries ago and turned with time into a key tourist attraction.
The long avenue, locally named as Jalan Tokong, hosts a Methodist church, built in 1908, the white Kampung King Mosque, distinguished with a green dome. It had been built by Indian Muslim merchants in 1748.
Most old buildings along the long street, usually crammed with tourists, worshippers and visitors, have been transformed into stores, restaurants, cafes and museums. (end) aib.rk
