Pasar Payang is a must-visit especially for the first-time visitors to this Sea turtle state (Negeri Penyu).

The Central Market or Pasar Payang, is located by the Terengganu River. It is a favourite destination of tourists as this combination of a wet market and shopping arcade sells interesting local handicrafts like batik, brassware, brocade and songket alongside fresh local produce like fruits, vegetables and fish, or even the local delicacies such as the Keropok Lekor(crackers made from a mixture of fish and sago).

It is a great shopping destination and an interesting sight. Renovation and upgrading of the market are underway transforming it into a modern yet convenient shoppers’ paradise.

Pasar Payang can be accessed through Jalan Zultan Zainal Abidin or Jalan Hiliran.

From the Express Bus Station, turn right and walk about 1KM. You can see there're Istana Maziah followed by the General Post Office at the left on the way just before reaching the Pasar Payang.
