Description
Hi, I am Jomy, a travel writer. I have traveled to more than 40 countries. When I was 30 years old, I returned to my hometown to start a business. I opened a cultural and creative tourism base in Klang, hoping to implement the world travel experience in the land where we live and promote local cultural creativity.
Klang is the oldest city in Selangor. In addition to being the royal city of Selangor, it is also the birthplace of the world's Bak Kut Teh and has the most complete Indian street in Malaysia. Malaysia's second railway is also in Klang, and it only takes 1 hour to reach Kuala Lumpur. Klang also has direct buses to Kuala Lumpur International Airport, which is very suitable as a starting point or end point for travelers.
Youth hostel is the earliest appearance of Klang. Later, we gathered travelers from all over the world and friends in the community. There are various art exhibitions in the museum, including: painting, installation art, picture books, music, micro movies, decoration design, etc., so that everyone can experience the story of Klang in a creative and fun way.
After the pandemic, we transformed into a cultural and creative cafe, and developed with travelers from different countries: Bak Kut Teh Turkish Bread, Bak Kut Teh Cream Pasta, Bak Kut Teh Smashed Cucumber, etc.
Food is the first necessity of the people, and we have always hoped to use a simpler and more friendly meal to allow more people to experience the cultural creativity of Klang.
Let the world see Klang, and let Klang see the world, has always been our philosophy. We are currently recruiting work-exchange helpers from different countries to become Klang Tourism Promotion Ambassadors, and help us promote this city with rich cultural heritage but gradually forgotten by travelers.
嗨，我是旅游作家Jomy，曾经走过40几个国家，在30岁那一年想不开回乡创业，在巴生开了家文创旅游基地，希望将世界旅游的见闻，落实在我们生活的土地，推广地方文化创意。
巴生，是雪兰莪州最古老的城市。除了是雪兰莪州的皇城，也是世界肉骨茶的发源地，还拥有全马来西亚印度商品最齐全的印度街。马来西亚第二条铁路也在巴生，只需1小时就能抵达吉隆坡。巴生也有直达吉隆坡国际机场的巴士，非常适合作为旅行者的起点或终点。
青年旅馆，是 最早的模样。后来我们凝聚世界各地的旅行者，还有社区的朋友们，一起打造成了巴生故事馆。馆内有各式各样的艺术展览，包括：画画、装置艺术、绘本、音乐、微电影、装修设计等，让大家能透过创意好玩的方式，体验巴生的故事。
疫情后，我们转型文创咖啡馆，与不同国家的旅行者研发出了：肉骨茶土耳其面包、肉骨茶奶油意大利面、肉骨茶拍黄瓜等等…
民以食为天，我们一直希望用更简单亲民的一顿料理，让更多人能体验到巴生的文化创意。
让世界看见巴生，也让巴生看见世界，一直是我们的理念。目前我们也在招募不同国家的打工换宿，成为巴生旅游推广大使，陪我们一起推动这座富有文化底蕴，却被旅人渐渐遗忘的城市。

You can go to explore after get off work... The other direction of the train can go to Port Klang. From the pier, you can take a boat for 30 minutes to reach the giant floating fishing village Pulau Ketam. It is recommended that you take a day trip on your holiday.
