Old-world charm of Chinese enclave

Kampung Cina’s past leaders are memorialised in Payang Memory Lane.

AT A GLANCE, Kuala Terengganu’s Chinatown or Kampung Cina looks just like any street with classic shophouses on either side, exuding nostalgia with each step taken down its path.

But dig a little deeper, and one will find that the one-kilometre stretch actually hides an interesting history of commercial harmony and seven lanes reflecting its residents’ heritage and values.
