Hi, my name is Yana. I accompanied my mom to go to market. That market is the terong market. I took some pictures and information about it.

The terong market is one of the largest traditional market in Makassar. The terong market had stood since 1968. At first, the terong market is only small and its surrounding is housing complex. Every years, the terong market was expanded so that the market terong is many sellers and buyers.

The terong market is located in jalan terong, Bontoala District. In the terong market, many selling daily necessities. But I didn’t take the picture the sale secondhand good such as bags, clothes, and others. Makassar people call it “cakar”. With the low price, the buyer can bargain and shopping as much.
