Description
Hello there!
We are a creative experience center that combines an Art café, Art hostel, Art space and Art Bar, located in the oldest city of Selangor, Klang.
We are currently running the "Workaway program" and cordially invite workawayer from around the globe to come to Klang, share your country's cultural stories and artistic skills, and immerse yourself in Klang's creative culture.
Klang is a city rich in cultural heritage, being the birthplace of the famous Bak Kut Teh (pork rib soup) and the royal city of Selangor. It boasts the most complete Indian Street in Malaysia and preserves numerous colonial-era buildings.
With Klang being connected to Kuala Lumpur via the second railway, it's just a 1-hour train ride, and a 3-minute walk will take you to us. The railway's terminal is at the Klang Port, where you can take a boat to Pulau Ketam and Port Klang to experience the local fishing village life. Klang also has direct buses to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, making it a perfect first or last stop for your Malaysia journey.
Join us as we explore the charm and allure of Klang together!
