The Lembangan Market is the place to get a real taste of Sarawak. With its 700 stalls located along the Lembangan River between Mission Road and Channel Road, it is used by the local and upriver villagers and longhouse dwellers.
Popular with the young and the old, they flock the market especially during Pasar Malam or Night Market. It is a great place to try all kinds of local delicacies and sweets and to experience what the local livelihoods are like.
The Market is perhaps the most vibrant pasar malam in the state. The vendors even sell a fascinating range of jungle produce, including flying foxes, squirrels, snakes, turtles, snails, edible jungle fruits and ferns. Not only that, the vendors also sells a variety of garments, toys, electrical goods and foodstuff at a price anyone can afford. If at night, the atmosphere is thick with a carnival-like feeling.
It is open daily but is most popular on weekends and public holidays.
