As you are on a kampong tour to fully experience local Malang city life you will pass all kinds of local neighborhoods. You'll get a better understanding of how locals live, how they make it through the day and what they do or can do for a living as life in Indonesia comes without any certainties besides the certainty that you will have to take care of yourself. See how local businesses keep on running, understand daily activities in a Malang-neighborhood, visit an elementary schools, sniff on the difficulties locals experience, experience loads of culture that is an interwoven mix of customs and habits on the one hand and faith on the other, witness the living conditions of both poor and those who are more lucky. Thus, you aren't getting that easily to Kampong Biru, another name for Arema Blue Village. You will visit 2 other kampongs first as well as the local market Klojen, Malang's food market in front of the train station, the train station itself and Malang's place to be to get yourself a new helmet. Kampong Biru is an upgraded kampong. It is a relaxed and clean neighborhood. Friendly people and great street art. The blue colour is a homage to Malang's football club Arema. Micro-business is being developed, such as juggling dry waste into ready-made materials; flower vases, table decorations, and women's accessories.

Kampong Jodipan, also called Kampong Warna-Warni, is opposite the blue kampong and across the bridge. The houses in Jodipan are all coloured differently. Street art is great. Small business arose after the opening of this colourful kampong. Compared to Kampong Biru, Jodipan is often visited by tourists. The glass bridge over the river Brantas is a major spot... You get a different vibe compared to the vibe in the Blue village.

To reach this temple you will walk near the railway and see the activities near the railway while passing several kampongs as well. The word ‘klenteng’ is derived from the sound of a bell ‘teng teng teng’. Eng An Kiong temple embraces the three faiths "Ji" (Konghucu), "Sik" (Budhism), and "Too" (Taoism). Therefore it is also referred to as the Three teachings temple. Klenteng Eng An Kiong is part of Malang's history and open to visitors. Located right in the heart of economic activities and in the Chinese area, the Chinese temple Eng An Kiong is a unique destination.
