There is a mosque named Masjid Jamek in that general area which was built many years ago. The surrounding area seems to be very busy most times, as there are numerous shops in that vicinity, and also the main road very nearby. Lots to choose for textiles, trinkets, costume jewellery, and even gold products mainly imported from India. Several money... More

The architecture was interesting. Gives you a different perspective, as this was my first time to go inside a mosque. The guide gave us quite a good detail about the mosque and their practices.

Scarfs can be bought at... More
