Langkawi
is acclaimed to be the Duty Free Port, which provides enough grounds to
the shoppers to throng the island. If to be stated in real terms, Pulau
Langkawi is a haven for bargain hunters. It offers an impressive range
of local and imported goods, and the best part is all this comes at
great prices. The collection of items boasts of cameras, watches,
electronic goods, handicrafts, crystal wares, clothes, liquor,
cosmetics, perfumes, leather goods, confectionary, cigarettes, ladies
accessories, etc.
Being a duty-free island, Langkawi is perhaps the best place to grab
some really good bargains. The majority of the shopping opportunities
are found in the main commercial area-Kuah Town. Here, you will come
across several stores and malls which provide an assortment of tax-free
goods at affordable rates. If you've already browsed the malls of Kuala
Lumpur, you'll definitely feel dearth of brand names in Langkawi. But
it's for sure that all the shopping centres have a decent stock and
collection of items.
Langkawi Fair is the largest mall on the island where you can get the
best brands in about 100 retail lots. Besides, Langkawi Parade is
another shopping centre to pick up some nice luxury goods from high-end
boutiques. Some other major shopping complexes are Jetty Point Shopping
Complex, Saga Shopping Centre and Zone Shopping Paradise in Pantai
Cenang. Furthermore, surfing the night-markets could be great
opportunity to get your hands on some nice items, though always use your
bargaining skills while making purchases from such markets.
To get brilliant souvenirs, Craft Cultural Complex is a best place to
head for. In the variety of handicrafts, you can choose from batik,
traditional Malay clothes, ornamental objects, crystals, traditional
pottery, etc. Also you can look into the Zone Shopping Paradise Duty
Free Centre at the Underwater World where numerous items can be fetched
at decent price tags. Teow Soon Huat Departmental Store, which is sited
just outside Kuah, is another shopping outlet worth exploring. Scroll
