A common meet up point in almost all countries, the place to experience local culture and walk among the crowds would be its market. It is here that locals and tourists connect over the nation’s rich culture, experience the local produce, fashion and small trinkets that are unique to a region. Locals proudly display their wares and share their stories with the world. The central market is usually the heart of the city in which it is located and one such example is the Central Market in Kuala Lumpur. This market is a well-known landmark for the culture and heritage of the country of Malaysia. More so, it is considered to be a heritage site. It was built in 1888 and originally functioned as a wet market. You can find everything right from authentic Malaysian souvenirs like handicrafts, batik, and songket to art and cultural events.
