Tan Hiok Nee Cultural Street is one of our favourite hunt that we will not miss whenever we are in Johor Bahru. Apart from the traditional coffeeshops, theme cafes and unique shops, every Saturday evening, the street is filled with Chinese culture activities. This is the effort to revive and preserve the culture of the Chinese community.

Named after an extremely successful and influential business man in the 1800s, this street is definitely rich in terms of history and culture. Walking around on a weekend afternoon, it felt like I was walking along an old street in the 1980s.
