About Jalan Tengku Azizah

Towering over Bukit Changar in the city’s downtown core, it’s ready, set and go for an exciting discovery of the city with plenty of buzz to be found nearby, with the famous City Square Mall, Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Street, Komtar JBCC, R&F Mall and PERSADA Convention Centre.      

Just minutes away from the exit point for visitors travelling to and from Singapore (Woodlands checkpoint) via the Causeway, the area is well supported by a network of transportation facilities at Johor Bahru Sentral, an integrated transport hub with intercity buses and trains.  The light rail station for the future Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link is closeby, where commuters can seamlessly transfer between Johor Bahru and Woodlands in just five minutes

ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES

ARULMIGU SRI RAJAKALIAMMAN GLASS TEMPLE (6-min drive)
An iconic Hindu temple that stands out among the rest in its glistening beauty – both figuratively and literally.  The first-ever glass temple in the world has gone from being just a place of worship to a must-visit attraction in the state. 

JOHOR ANCIENT TEMPLE (7-min drive)
Established in the 1800s, this temple is one of the oldest structures in the city and became the symbol of unity among five Chinese ethnic groups of Teochew,  Hoklo (Hokkien), Cantonese, Hakka and Hainanese.  Believed to be the first Chinese temple in Malaysia to be named after a state, the temple’s courtyard being surrounded by high walls exudes calm far removed from the downtown traffic of Johor Bahru.  

TAN HIOK NEE HERITAGE STREET  (7-min drive)
Known as Johor Bahru’s Heritage Food Trail, this street is refurbished to commemorate the heritage of the Straits Chinese and Malays. Some of the buildings and shophouses are kept in their original state. There is a good mix of famous old shops and newly-opened hipster cafes around here.

OUTDOORS

SUNSET AT DANGA BEACH (7-min drive)

FRASER INSIDER

ABANDONED KAMPUNG HOUSES AT RUMAH LIMAS

Traditional houses in Malaysia were modernized over time to reflect the environmental, cultural and historical context in which they existed. More than 100 traditional and vernacular Malay houses which were built in the 1900s still exist but are constantly deteriorating and vanishing, due to social changes and the pressure of urban redevelopment.  Appreciate the nuances in architecture across the many states, with a main focus on the pyramid roof, often seen in traditional kampung houses.
