By day, you’ll find nostalgic murals telling stories of 1960s KL life. By night, the lane glows with lanterns and themed light displays 🌙🏮 current display is featuring whimsical rabbits and oversized blooms, turning it into a fairytale walkway 🐇🌸.

📍 Location: Near Jalan Panggung, Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur
💡 Tips:
