Central Market location : https://maps.app.goo.gl/SDo8VbCww2a5b... Central Market Kuala Lumpur is a market in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Background Central Market Kuala Lumpur is located at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Foch Avenue) and the pedestrian-only section of Jalan Hang Kasturi (Rodger Street), a few minutes away from Petaling Street and next to Klang River. It was founded in 1888 as a wet market, while the current Art Deco-style building was completed in 1937. It has been classified as a Heritage Site by the Malaysian Heritage Society and is now a landmark for Malaysian culture and heritage. History The original building was built in 1888 by the British in colonial British Malaya. It was used as a wet market for Kuala Lumpur citizens and tin miners. A few decades later, the Wet Market was very convenient for early city dwellers because it was near the Klang bus stand, the hub of feeder bus service for Kuala Lumpur and the train station. Further expansions were made in 1889, 1895, 1920, and 1921. By 1933, the warehouse expansions, which cost around $167,000, had brought the market to its present size. As Kuala Lumpur experienced rapid development in the 1970s, plans to demolish the site were in place. The Malaysian Heritage Society's intervention proved timely, as they successfully petitioned against its deconstruction, and the site was declared a "Heritage Site". Features The Central Market Kuala Lumpur is arranged in a stall concept, representing the traditional market in Kuala Lumpur since the 1800s. Travellers can scroll through the many sections within the Central Market, from the Lorong Melayu, Straits Chinese, and Lorong India, located on the west wing. The second floor hosts a food court, offering an array of food. Notable are two-storey and single-storey buildings resembling the kampong-style houses representing the many ethnic groups living harmoniously in Kuala Lumpur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central... === #walkingaround #centralmarket #kualalumpur4k #kualalumpur #kualalumpurtravel #kualalumpurtravelvlog #malaysia #malaysia4k #malaysiatravel #petalingstreet #jalanjalan
