Jalan Kuching is a major road in Kuala Lumpur. It is part of Federal Route 1, the old trunk road that connects major towns along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. In Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Kuching continues from Jalan Kinabalu in the south, to reach the Kepong Roundabout, where the road continues as Jalan Ipoh (at time of writing, May 2018, Google Maps got the stretch of Jalan Ipoh wrongly labelled as Jalan Kuching).
As with Jalan Kinabalu, Jalan Kuching was named after a state capital. The name of Jalan Kuching (and Jalan Kinabalu) was a means of a symbolic welcome to the two East Malaysia states into the federation.
Jalan Kuching starts at Bulatan Parlimen. It ends at the interchange with Persiaran 1 in Selayang. On this page, I shall document its entire route, and call out all the sights along the way.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
