Colorful Village Jodipan, Riverside painted neighborhood in Malang, Indonesia
The houses line narrow streets along the Brantas River, with each building painted in different colors from yellow and blue to pink and green.
The transformation of this area occurred in 2016 when university students collaborated with a paint company to renovate 107 houses in the neighborhood.
Local artists contribute to the neighborhood's development by creating murals that represent Indonesian traditions and daily life scenes on building walls.
Visitors can purchase entrance tickets at two separate points to access both the colorful village and the connected Kampung Tridi area across the river.
The glass bridge spanning the Brantas River connects the painted village to Kampung Tridi, offering views of both decorated neighborhoods from above.

The island of Java showcases an exceptional heritage blending spiritual traditions and natural wonders. The temples of Prambanan and Candi Mendut attest to the grandeur of 9th-century Hindu and Buddhist civilizations, while the Candi Sewu complex reveals sacred architecture organized according to mandala principles. Active volcanoes like Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen offer striking landscapes, from the smoking crater dominating the black sand plain to turquoise lakes where miners still extract sulfur. Javanese cities combine tradition and modernity: Jakarta features the National Monument on Merdeka Square, Bandung houses the Geology Museum founded in 1928, and Malang surprises with Kampung Biru, whose houses are entirely painted blue. The Seribu Islands extend this diversity into the Java Sea with their coral reefs, while floating markets like in Lembang maintain age-old trading practices. This array of sites invites exploration of Indonesia’s deep spirit, between spirituality, volcanic nature, and human ingenuity.
