Back to history, Danau kota was actually created for ex-drug addicts that came out from rehabilitation center. the reasons why our government created this place 7 years ago is to give chances to them(ex drug addicts ) to build a career or create a new life after they came out from rehabilitation center. as we all know chances for ex-drug addicts to get a job is so limited. So the government gave them chance to them and here is the place for them to get a job or to start a business. In rehabilitation center they were thought to make hand crafted souvenir, sewing and making electronic stuff and these stuff are send to this place for them to sell it to public. After few years years, this place is no longer reserved for the ex-drug addicts but also opened for everyone to trade their stuff such as toys, accessories, clothes, 2nd hand stuff, foods.

The difference between a night market (pasar malam) and a night bazaar (bazaria larut malam) is that the latter sells mostly clothes, accessories, car parts, electronic gadgets, and other non-agricultural produce. The operation hours are usually from 8:30pm to 3am the next day. If you are planning to reduce your budget on your shopping, to get same good looking items, to voice out your singing talent or to treat your appetites ,Danau Kota is definitely the right place for you to visit.
