PAYANG market
The central market or Pasar Pavan is located on the banks of the Terenggana River, in the heart of the city, next to Chinatown, at the end of Jánan Bandar. This is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kuala Terengganu and one of the best places for shopping. The market housed in a modern building is quite large, and it offers visitors a variety of items of traditional crafts, such as batik, silk, a group, Songket (about it just below) and copper products, as well as cutlery and food products - spices, seafood (Fresh), Fruits, Fresh Vegetables and so on. There are always many people on the market, especially in the "Peak Hour" - from 6 to 9 am.Interestingly, everything is: and the manner unloading of goods, and the process of trading, when Pakcik (older men), Makcik (older women) and young sellers of almost taxes advertise their products, and the total atmosphere of the real Asian wound. In addition, at the entrance to the bazaar you can see a few bright local velaiks - an excellent way to explore the city at an affordable price (for sure, you will be tired of visiting the market). Thus, the marketing market is a great place not only for shopping, but also to penetrate the atmosphere of the old town. True, the state government has begun to "upgrade the old bazaar to the four-storey market with air conditioning in a complex with a 23-storey, 550-number five-star hotel" - at the moment the market has already been significantly updated, but he has not lost his charm and comfort.
Shopping Center "MyDin Mall"
"MyDin Mall" is located on Jalan Sultan Mohamad, on the opposite side from the city's central bus station. It is considered one of the largest shopping centers in Kuala Terenggan. At the same time, the goods here are cheaper than in other stores and shopping centers of the city. In this Mole you will find shopping stores, clothing, cosmetics, sporting goods and other items. The shopping center was connected to the Rakyat market, where traditional clothes were mainly sold and Food Court was sold. Today, Food Court has been preserved and still happy with diversity and flavors, well, the prices for Malay traditional clothes here are perhaps the lowest in the city, and, at the same time, the view and quality of clothing is excellent.
Shopping center "Mesra Mall"
This shopping center is not located in Kuala Terenggan, and 100 kilometers from him, in the small town of Poka, known for now, only with its gas and oil refineries and deposits. Due to the ravenly developing industry, many specialists have already settled here from all over Malaysia and even from neighboring countries. That is more and built this modern shopping center "in the center of the unknowns". Mall one-story, but he is not small at all - it's easier to say, huge! The shopping center is very useful, since here you can find several British outlet and other brand clothing and footwear departments. This is what distinguishes him from Terenggan, where such good find it difficult. In general, for the inhabitants, say, Kuala Lumpur, shopping in this shopping center will be completely ordinary and familiar, and even, maybe, boring, but for the inhabitants of the Eastern Coast, a similar Mall - something new. In addition to things and other goods, there are many restaurants, as well as this is the only shopping center in the town with a cinema. It is not surprising that there are always a lot of people!
Market Varisan
Varisan is an old local market. Moreover, the market building looks like some palace or like that. Not a particularly chic palace, of course, but with traditional roofs and some jewelry. Shopping There is not the perfect, the choice is not the richest, but here you can buy some textile products and clothing (though, prices are slightly higher). Here you can advise to go to those who have already been to Pasar Pawng. However, this market is no longer so lively and interesting, as, let's say, five years ago. The building is quite "tired" (although unusual) and clearly needs to be repaired - which, apparently, has already begun - we expect a divine transformation.
Paiya Bung Square
These are new shopping centers that are located in a building with a hotel and offices. There is a place near Kuala Terenggan's bus station and offers many shops that you most likely like: Batik, clothes, phone numbers, books, computers, craft items and much more.
KRAFTANGAN MALAYSIA
Located approximately 4.5 kilometers south of the city outlet offers high-quality Songket worth about 12-15 ringgitis for 2.5 meters of fabric. If a little more details, then Songket is something like a brocade, a fabric, popular in Indonesia, Malaysia and Brune. It is silk or cotton, in the weaving of which gold or silver threads are adly mixed. Metal threads are distinguished on the background of the fabric and look like embroidered, creating a wonderful effect of flicker. And so, despite the fact that the fabric is extremely thin - less than 1 millimeter thick! The complex process of creating such a matter reflects the values of hardworking, accuracy and patience of the Asian people - after all, Songket and the truth is still made manually using a clean-in machine.
True, it seems like, the gold-silver threads are imported exclusively from Japan today, and Silk Threads are from China. The word "Songket" comes from "SUNGKIT", which means "embroider". But to embroidery, the production of the Songsket has nothing to do - in these tissues, the background and pattern occupy an equal area. Therefore, there is another theory, which is based on the fact that the word comes from "Songka" - the so-called the head of residents of the Indian city of Palembang, in which, allegedly, learned to insert gold threads into the fabric. Anyway, clear information about when and how this technique was actually born, no. It is believed that this technique of weaving came, yet, from the north, somewhere from the district of Cambodia, spread in the south of Thailand and finally reached the Malaysian Trendgana at the beginning of the 16th century. Returning to the store, it is worth noting that there is still a small one, but an interesting exhibition "Songtake's heritage". You can get to Outleta on the bus number 13 from the bus station.
