The North Jakarta Snake Market has been an icon of cheap shopping and a well-known textile center since the 70s. From clothes, imported cloth, to shoes and branded bags, everything can be found here at a slanted price. But now, the atmosphere is very different. The market halls that used to be crowded with visitors, now seem deserted. Many stalls are closed, and only a handful of traders are waiting for buyers.
The decline in this market cannot be separated from changes in people's shopping trends that have shifted to modern shopping centers and online marketplaces.
