Kampung Nountun Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The waves are slowly crashing onto the beach, a family of four are swimming in the sea, and the hotel staff are rushing to get ready for breakfast. As I sat down on the beach, I thought to myself, 'Why did I get out of bed so early?' I decided to take this photo and at that moment, I realised why.

Only if you go to the North side of town, near the Gaya Centre, will you stumble across this abandoned area taken over by graffiti artists. Many young Malaysians come here at sunset to take photos of the art.
