Gaya Street

Gaya Street, in the Kota Kinabalu Central Business District, was originally named Bond Street and has been the centre of business for almost a century. The wooden shops with nipah roofs are long gone but here is where generations-old family businesses are still thriving passed down from father to son. The entire stretch of Gaya Street is closed to traffic every Sunday morning to make room for the street market. You will be captivated by the many things and goods sold at this fair, which is a must-see market while in KK. This is the greatest area to learn about the local culture and lifestyle, from arts and crafts to batik sarongs, footwear, fruits and flowers, local snacks and pastries, antiques and souvenirs, and even pets and herbs. The street fair begins at 6:00 p.m. and ends at 2:00 a.m.
