Johor Bahru City Square

Strategically located in the heart of the city and only a stone's throw from the customs and immigration checkpoint, Johor Bahru City Square stands out as a central landmark in JB. With its more than 200 retailers, it offers a host of fashion, entertainment and restaurants. All catered to wow the senses and satisfy the needs. Rush in when the doors open at 10am for breakfast, then head out and start your shopping adventure of clothes, shoes, bags, trinklets, toiletries, electronic toys. Everything the heart desires. Unique to Johor Bahru City Square is the Inner City, an eclectic mix of smallish fashion and accessory shops plus restaurants housed in a tight, quaint setting. Always a firm favorite of the "NOW" generation. After many hours of shopping, rest the feet in one of the numerous restaurants and cafes or indulge in a soothing foot massage, then go on to treat the rest of the body at a salon.

Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque

Commissioned in 1900 by Sultan Abu Bakar--a much respected monarch widely referred to as the 'Father of Modern Johor'-- this grand mosque can accommodate 2,000 worshippers.

A Majestic Mosque of Victorian Architecture with unique Moorish designs, an added feature. Stands proud on a hill overlooking the Straits Aglow in the sun or moon among the world's greats! Named after Abu Bakar, a great Sultan of Johor, Though an Anglophile, his actions were folklore. For his people he wanted a large Mosque, on par With any in the world, a symbolic icon, a spar! Highly recommended to see this monument that harmonizes Islam in a Victorian element. Built circa 1900 Abu Bakar's dream mosque but completed by Ibrahim as an earnest task! Dr. Shanon

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple is a Hindu temple and reputedly the oldest in Malaysia. From the exterior, it’s an innocuous looking South Indian style temple with a gopuram. Inside the temple looks far more elaborate as it’s completely decorated in glass and glass mosaic. The decoration looks heavily influenced by Thai Buddhist temples, except that this temple has taken the glass to the extreme of having the glasswork everywhere. Other than the eye catching glassworks, the temple is fairly typical of Hindu temples with statues of deities dotted around the temple. Surprisingly, the temple also has sculptures of figures from religions including Christianity and Buddhism. Overall, a pretty temple with eye-catching interiors. The temple is to the north of the city centre and can be a pain to get to, especially if walking. I thought it was worth it nevertheless.

Gunung Lambak

Reviewed By kellycX8888RA

We hiked up and down in 3hrs on a weekday. Not many people and the locals warned that some paths are quite misleading so it’s better to take the tougher and steeper route up to summit. We did and happy to be able to experience the different terrain. Tree roots and Ropes and all. Very enjoyable hike!

Chinese Heritage Museum

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

The Chinese Heritage Museum is a fantastic museum detailing the history of Chinese settlement in Johor Bahru. The first two floors are dedicated to and have an amazing amount of detail about the different Chinese communities that settled and on their contribution. The top floor is a special exhibit on gambier, the crop that originally made Johor wealthy and first brought the Chinese over. A great museum for a very small entrance fee.

A very great hideout from the stressful and space constraint Singapore. Over here people are friendly, not rude and impatient, does not have sense of entitlement. No need to squeeze or give way when walking because the crowd is quite limited.

We can see everyone having their great time with loved ones, by cycling, playing at playground, jogging, fishing, strolling along the breezy river bank and so on. There is also a tour boat to take you for a guided tour along the coast where we can witness mangrove swamp and coastal scenery of this beautiful coastal town.
