Handicraft Market(手工艺市场)
Located along Jalan Tun Fuad Stephens, the Handicraft Market is a favoured shopping haunt for locals and tourists alike. Souvenirs galore await you and rest assured there is something for everyone. Start with the cheap trinkets, which make excellent gifts for friends and family. These include keychains, beaded bracelets and necklaces and bookmarks. You will be spoilt for choice with miles and miles of beautiful sarongs and pareos, an ideal reminder of your tropical holiday in Sabah! Be sure to check out the glistening and gorgeous pearl jewellery and handicrafts. You can purchase loose pearls or stunning brooches, necklaces and earrings, available at almost every stall you visit in this vast market.
For those with an eye for ornate wooden carvings, you have come to the right place. The market has an endless variety of carved crafts, including exotic wooden masks, picture frames and even stunning wall panels. Not be missed are the assortment of rattan baskets in all shapes and sizes.
The best thing about the Handicraft Market is that you never know what piece of treasure you might unravel during your visit. Some have returned home with an authentic sompoton (a traditional wind instrument), a Murut headhunter's blowpipe, a coconut-shaped handbag and a wooden-frog that ‘sings' when you stroke its back with a wooden stick.
The most important tip when visiting the market is to bargain, bargain, bargain! Pick up some local lingo to improve your bargaining skills and you might even walk away a steal.

座落在亚庇敦法史蒂芬路的手工艺品卖场，是本地与外地游客物色和选购手工艺制品、纪念品或土产手信的热门据点。价廉物美的小件首饰或小玩意，包括钥匙圈、 串珠项炼或腕炼、书签等，在这里简直就是一站式的选购中心，无数种类的莎笼布匹、披肩，固然令人眼花撩乱，却是最能让您回忆起在热带沙巴渡假美妙时光的恩 物。
当然，来到这个大卖场，绝对不容错过的还有闪烁著华丽之光的珍珠，无论是单颗还是整串购买，都悉随尊意。整串的，有项炼及腕炼，而单颗的，则有别针胸饰、 耳环或戒指等，您也可以买回去自行找工匠设计嵌镶。对于搜罗精致木雕的行家来说，肯定是正中下怀了。这里有目不暇给的原木雕琢精品，包括充满异国风味的木 面具、画像框，甚至是极品的墙壁镶板。此外，不能错过的还有各式各样、各种体积大小的藤器篮篓。这个手工艺品卖场的特点是，您绝对无法预料会寻获甚么杰作 或稀品。有些人来走一趟，绕一圈，会情不自禁地把玩竹笙，甚至是传说中，毛律族原住民猎人头时代使用的喷箭筒。在这里，还有另外一种乐趣，就是杀价、杀 价、杀价！只要您有本事学上几句本地语言，来增强您杀价的声势，您大有可能买一获送三，检个大便宜满干而归。

- 位于亚庇市中心的Tun Fuad Stephens路
- 手工艺市场里堆满了琳琅满目的手工木制商品零售摊位
- 一眼望去，几乎所有的摊位都出售同类的商品，如贝壳，手工串珠项链，草编篮，编织帽等，但若您能驻足片刻，您会发现其实它们都很有自己的特色。您还可以和商贩讨价还价，其中乐趣无穷。
- 与菲律宾手工艺市场不同的是，这里有不少摊位出售只有在印尼，砂拉越或沙巴本地才能买到有民俗特色的小商品（多数是玻璃或雕刻制品）。
