Kampung Biru Arema, Tourist village in Malang, Indonesia.
Kampung Biru Arema is a residential neighborhood in Malang where homes, walls, and streets are painted in shades of blue and white throughout multiple sections. The district features narrow alleyways and residential blocks filled with this distinctive color scheme.
The neighborhood was once an ordinary residential area that community members transformed into a tourist destination in recent years through a grassroots painting initiative. Residents colored their homes and streets blue as a tribute to the local Arema football club.
Residents have painted their homes and streets blue to express their support for the local Arema football club. This color choice shapes how the neighborhood looks and feels to those who live and walk through it.
The neighborhood is easy to explore on foot during daylight hours, with narrow streets best experienced at a walking pace. Parking is available near the main entrance areas, and early morning or late afternoon visits tend to be less crowded than midday hours.
One of the five distinct sections of the neighborhood contains a learning area where visitors can discover Basa Walikan, a local speech variety with a special way of reversing and mixing words. This linguistic feature offers insight into how residents use language in creative ways.

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.
