Kampung Warni Widi

Malang


A local initiative to beautify Malang's ramshackle, high-density kampung are these whimsical multicoloured neighbourhoods that have been transformed into one of the city's most popular sights. While they could do with a fresh lick of paint, they're still worthy of exploration.

Each kampung asks for a donation, which includes a handmade keyring souvenir.
