Transformasi Jalan Besar Kuantan: Mural Seni Menghidupkan Semula Warisan Bandar
Bangunan-bangunan di Kawasan Jalan Besar, Kuantan, telah diberikan nafas baru melalui projek seni yang dilaksanakan oleh 13 individu kelahiran Pahang. Projek ini berlangsung dari Disember 2020 hingga Februari 2021 dan berjaya mencipta 74 lukisan mural yang menggambarkan identiti unik Kuantan. Lukisan-lukisan ini membentang sejauh 500 meter, menghiasi dinding bangunan lama dan mengubah wajah kawasan ini menjadi lebih hidup dan bertenaga.
Antara mural yang paling menonjol ialah lukisan sepanjang 20 kaki di sisi bangunan yang dikenali sebagai Shoe Cobbler, dengan latar belakang ikonik Menara 188 Kuantan. Selain itu, satu lagi karya seni yang menarik perhatian ialah struktur bangunan yang menggambarkan Naga Legenda Tasik Chini. Bangunan setinggi 40 kaki ini dihiasi dengan tangga lingkaran di bahagian luar, yang direka untuk membentuk sebahagian daripada tubuh naga tersebut, mencipta ilusi visual yang memukau.
Lorong-lorong belakang yang dulunya gelap dan suram telah bertukar menjadi ruang yang penuh warna dan ceria, menarik minat pelancong dan penduduk tempatan. Projek ini bukan sahaja memberikan wajah baharu kepada Jalan Besar, tetapi juga menjadi platform untuk mempromosikan warisan budaya dan sejarah Kuantan kepada generasi muda.
Dengan gabungan seni kontemporari dan elemen tradisional, Jalan Besar kini menjadi destinasi wajib bagi sesiapa yang ingin merasai keunikan Kuantan sambil menghargai usaha memelihara warisan bandar ini.

2 weeks agoKuantan Art Street: More Than Just Murals - It's AR Magic! Donkey and I were just wandering around and stumbled upon Kuantan Art Street, and I'm telling you, we're so glad we did! The energy, the art...it was a highlight of our day. At first, we thought, "Oh, great, another mural street." We've seen them in Melaka, Singapore, KL, Penang...you know the drill. But Kuantan Art Street is different. What makes it special is the Kuantan Art Street ARCam app. Seriously, download this thing (it's free, and you can't miss the ad at the entrance) and watch the murals come alive in 3D! This augmented reality stuff is a total game-changer. We took the most hilarious and amazing pictures and videos. Our fave AR experiences were the surfboard scene with the giant dolphins and the fish boat where we got "attacked" by these massive hornets! The Art Street itself is super easy to get around - just one long, straight shot. And the AR tech really makes you connect with the art and understand what it's all about. It's such a cool way to make art fun and accessible, and it definitely makes Kuantan Art Street a must-see if you're heading to Kuantan 188. If you're all about Instagrammable spots and want a modern take on art, Kuantan Art Street is a solid add to your Kuantan 188 itinerary. Donkey and I totally recommend it! Google Rating: - Art: 5/5 - Amazing murals brought to life with AR! - AR Experience: 5/5 - A total game-changer! Hilarious and engaging. - Accessibility: 5/5 - Easy to navigate. - Atmosphere: 4/5 - Vibrant and energetic. - Value: 5/5 - Free and fun! - Overall: 5/5 - A must-see in Kuantan! The AR is what sets it apart.

a week agoAs astreet art lover I specially like malaysian murals, already made an article about that, dedicated t murals in Ipoh, Perak. Kuantan murals impressed me with specific coctail of Asian urban culture and traditional Malaysian style, also murals interactive in sense that they are part of photopoints.

7 months agoVery interesting place with retro style painting along the street. But do remember to apply sunscreen and bring your umbrella if you come visit in the morning or afternoon. It's worth a visit if you come to Kuantan, most importantly it is FREE

9 months agoI enjoyed a peaceful stroll in the early evening, exploring the vibrant Kuantan Street Art. The area is filled with creative and beautifully crafted murals that showcase local talent and culture. With few tourists around, it felt like a hidden gem—perfect for a quiet, reflective walk and some great photo opportunities.

a year agoSpend some time to visit this street art in the town centre .. better to come before sunset or early morning to avoid the direct sun and heat. Quite a numbers of good 3D art from the artist and one can download their app to view the effects of 3D popping up on your screen. Parking not a problem during my weekend visit here.
