Zegyo Market
ဈေးချို
A traditional large market in central Mandalay, where fabrics, longyi, spices, jade and snacks come together, offering a taste of everyday local life.
Zegyo Market is Mandalay’s oldest market, established during the reign of King Mindon. The old clock tower, designed by an Italian, still stands nearby. The current multi-story market building and the surrounding streets sell longyi fabric, spices, dried goods, household items and gold and silver jewelry. Roadside snack stalls nearby serve mohinga (fish noodle soup), fried pastries and more. The nearby jade market, a trading market for jade and jadeite, opens every morning, and it offers a feel for the jade trade, though beginners are advised not to buy expensive jade. It is located on 84th Street in the city center, so keep an eye on your belongings.
