Pasar Seni
Pasar Seni (Central Market) is located at Jalan Hang Kasturi, a few
minutes away from
Petaling Street (Chinatown). It was founded in 1888 and
originally used as a wet market, while the current building was completed in
1937. It has since been classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian
Heritage Society and it is now a landmark for Malaysian culture and
heritage. It is also strategically located within public transport
facilities such as RapidKL LRT and bus services.
Central Market has created a corner to display multi-ethnicity and the
stalls are zoned based on the features of each race. The new zone therefore
would consist of 3 lanes namely the Lorong Melayu, Straits Chinese and
Lorong India. The purpose of this new zone is to let the visitors have an
insight of the cultural difference of the various races in Malaysia.
