We run through the area that is called Celaket. Celaket is a local residence area where all houses are coloured in Malang-batik style. It is in this kampong where local Malang batik is still produced. All areas in Indonesia have their own batik-style, so does Malang.

We will cross one of the many tiny bridges used by pedestrians and motorbikes only. It gives you an outerspace feeling to cross such a bridge and you have great views over the layout of a city.
As you can't stop on the bridge, we will choose the right moment to cross it.
Pass by

Ijen Boulevard is one of Malang's most impressive streets; a wide lane with flower beds in the middle and bottle green swaying palms on the sides. The boulevard and the neighborhoods surrounding it, were constructed in the 1930s and designed by the famous Dutch architect Karsten. The neighborhood was designed not to be based on the origin of the people, but on their income.
