Visit Central Market Kuala Lumpur, a famous retail and cultural center noted as a Malaysian Heritage Site. Founded in 1888, the iconic Art Deco building originally served the local community as a wet market selling meat and produce. Today it features a traditional stall layout with vendors selling everything from antiques to T-shirts. Head to the annex in the back of the building to see art galleries, performance areas, and shops selling arts and crafts. If you've worked up an appetite, the popular food court offers a range of delicious treats from across the world in a bustling and authentic setting.

Since I didn't this site for a long time, the new look of Central Market was quite fascinating to me. With a new light blue colour exterior wall, it looks more outstanding and bright. Unfortunately couldn't enter. Not sure whether closed or under renovation. Despite the new look, the area is so dull unlike the busier days of yesteryears. Hope the opening of international borders will attract more foreign tourists as well as locals to visit this foremost Arts Market in the country.
