Famous with its splendor and unique design, Bazaar Warisan is located near to the Payang Market and the Bukit Puteri which is just 10 minutes drives from the Kuala Terengganu town. This RM18.4 million building which featured the traditional architecture of Terengganu is opened at July 2008. It has many little shops that sell different types of handicraft such as basket, bag, batik and more. It generates income for the local people by providing job opportunities. What is more, it helps to share the heritage and culture of the Malaysian.

For your information, the jetty where people take the ferry to the Redang Island is just opposite to the Bazaar warisan. Many tourists would stop by to do a little shopping to buy some souvenir because the price is reasonable. Also the colorful batik which is the trademark of Terengganu is one of the reason too.
