Kuala Lumpur Shopping

  1. Central Market

    Housed in a glorious Art Deco building that looks more Miami than Southeast Asia, the Central Market was the wet market for the miners of old Kuala Lumpur. The market was constructed by the British in 1888 and was nearly demolished in the 1970s before the Malaysian Heritage Society intervened to save it for future generations. Today, it houses a touristy but colourful market with some good handicrafts - batiks, wood carvings, kris (Malay daggers), durian candies - and Malay fabrics on sale.
