Jalan Cihampelas di Kota Bandung adalah salah satu tempat belanja pakaian yang paling pertama dan paling populer di kota kembang ini, terkenal dengan yang merk tiruan dan lokal dengan harga murah, mulai dari t-shirts, topi, jaket, jean, dompet, pakaian anak, dan masih banyak lagi yang lainnya.

Di sini juga terdapat banyak patung besar super hero — dari hero Amerika seperti Spiderman hinggalah ke hero Jepun seperti Ultraman menghiasi deretan kedai.

Jalan Cihampelas is, amongst the tourists, better known as Jeansstreet . In the past, it was a cheap and therefore, popular place to score some new jeans. Although the prices have been increasing steadily, and a bargain is found better in other places in Bandung these days, Chihampelas is still worth a visit. Not so much because of the enormous amount of clothing that is displayed in abundance at the shops lining the busy street, since unfortunately quality is dubious and it mostly concerns tacky shirts with poorly glued on brand names.

The ‘attraction' lies in the huge statues of all-time favourite moviestars that adorn the fronts of the shops. Sylvester Stallone as Rambo, inclusive of bazooka, is lined up next to Spiderman, while on the opposite side of the street Batman invites you to take a look inside the ‘Superhero Factory Outlet'. The kitsch glamour that Cihampelas displays is quite a sight, although more in a grotesque way than genuinely attractive.

Jalan Cihampelas est aussi connue sous le nom "jeans street". Cette rue est célèbre pour ses ventes à prix d’usine et ses statues géantes de super héros qui invitent les chalands à visiter les boutiques.
