Night bazaars also called as night markets are very popular in many Chinese communities. These are markets are in fact street markets and are more inclined towards light walking, food and shopping. Night markets can be found in almost all Chinatowns. The main night markets can be found in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. One such night market that is located in Malaysia is in Pakroyal Penang.

Some night markets in general are either purpose built night markets, much of the bigger night markets are like this, although the smaller markets are put up on street ways or roads. Certain night markets maybe specialized towards particular foods but most of the night markets are generalized. These mixed night markets sells apparel, consumer goods, drinks and food. The food is called xiaochi in the Chinese language; this can mean snacks or fast food in English.

Almost all night markets are congested and crowded. Hawkers would shout trying to attract crowds, attention and possible customers. High speed, high tempo music is usually played in the night market via loudspeakers. The night markets usually open at around 6 pm and could be even working well beyond midnight. The earliest Chinese markets can be traced to have arrived at around 836 AD. This was during the Tang dynasty. At the time of the Song dynasty these markets had gone thought out all of China. Thought the modern version of the night markets are generally attributed to have started from Taiwan.

Of course Malaysia has wonderful night markets, with low priced goods. The Pakroyal Penang night market is a must visit if one is in the area. One should find for some Penang accommodation since most of the markets will be open till late in the night. A good place to stay would be a Penang hotel. Penang hotel accommodation apart from providing with accommodation will also provide the visitor with other amenities as well.
