Johor city square is the only place worth going to as a tourist in the whole of Johor. Forget about what you read about the other malls, save your $$ as this is the only standard shopping mall worth going to in Johor. All others have depilated or runned down; forget about the Zon, forget about KSL & Danga, once... More

I used to visit JB quite often in the 80s. Back then, the place was very lively and one could easily find cheap and good food at the coffeeshops. The place now looks pretty quiet and rundown. Nothing interesting now, except for City Square.

I have traveled several times to JB over the past twenty years, usually from Singapore, and usually to play golf at the several good courses on the outskirts of the city of Johor. That, I recommend. I also recommend going to your golf game via Tuas and not the causeway. But, if you feel like a day in somewhere totally... More

This part of Johor Bahru holds a lot of history and the character of the town, originally linking to Singapore, was the pulling factor of people going into commerce in JB. From the Indian temples, to the shopping centres, the new ones, the old ones fusing together to give this street a very defined character. You can even find a... More

You can find anything along this 1 km road like City Square shopping center, hotels, money changers, street markets but on the day you just need to go through quite heavy traffic. So you better walk.

Looking at Jalan Wong Ah Fook today 2012 and compare with the same that of 1970, you would not notice any changes, except very minute. It is in the capital city og the state of Johor. Being the entrace and gateway of Singapore and Malaysia, this street or road has not given any renewed pride to the locals. What happened... More

The oldest lively road in downtown JB in the good old days. However, nowadays, the whole place worn down and old/abandoned buildings. The main road is always heavy with traffic, noisy and dusty. The people who hung around (regrets) do not make anyone feel safe. Only life now, probably the City Square Shopping Centre.

Anyone coming to this part of Johor Bahru will not miss this road which is one of the busiest. It runs through the business district where one can find almost anything .... shopping malls, night market, food courts, hotels, taxi and bus stations and a short distance away is the is the railway station and CIQ. Crossing this road can... More
