There were many stalls selling items from clothes, perfumes, food, coffee and ''Live'' animals being kept in tiny cramped cages. This market is obviously for tourists as the prices are priced higher than usual. A good place for scrolling around, but suggest not to buy things from here, as its quite expensive.

The lively Sunday market at downtown Kota Kinabalu is not to be missed. The rows of stalls selling fruits, accessories and street food are impressive and eye-catching for tourists. It is also a local gathering place with plenty of patrons buying vegetables and dried seafood. The de facto Chinatown of Sabah, Jalan Gaya is the main tourist attraction of the city.

Fun street market to visit when you are at Kota Kinabalu! You can find coffee power, sachets, white and black pepper and various spices and also delicious food here. I also enjoyed Kolo Mee at Ming Ge Cafe which is few mins away. Do bring a portable fan as weather can be really warm.

Hectic, Eclectic, Fascinating - Lots to see. Lots to photograph. Lots of amazing things to eat, drink or purchase. Yes, the "animals in cages" is an offence to our sensibilities, but that was such a small part of the experience which you need to just "walk away from" - unless you can fit 20 rabbits, budgies, kittens or puppies or baby turtles into your luggage (LOL). This place is "mad". Go early and enjoy the experience.
