Built starting in the 1920s, initially with money from the rubber boom, Kuching’s liveliest commercial thoroughfare – pronounced pah-doong -ahn – is lined with Chinese-owned businesses and noodle shops. In recent years, the area has attracted a growing number of trendy cafes, bars and restaurants. Covered arcades make it a fine place for a rainy-day stroll. It stretches for 1.5km from Jln Tunku Abdul Rahman to the Great Cat of Kuching.
