CARBON MARKET

the liveliest place in TOWN !
interesting,
picturesque, and
and fully loaded with the island's local color!

Carbon Market got it's name
in the last 18th century
during the time when people used steam to generate
electricity. They used this area to dump
heaps of carbon waste.
So the whole area turned out to be a mountain of
Carbon.Thus, it derived
it' s name, Carbon market
Nowadays, they dont have
piles of Carbon anymore. Instead,
it is occupied by merchants from different parts of the islands,
selling everything from A-Z.
But it's character has not diminished through the years.
It still lives up to it's
name - a dark, dinghy, and "dirty" like Carbon.
Is this a safe area?
Basically it is a safe place,
however I would advise
anyone not to carry their valuables in this area.
Please leave your documents and jewelries in the care,
or preferably at home.
This area is worth checking
out, if you are really curious the
city's true local color.
People from the neighboring islands,
and Cebu's locals from the countryside buy their products here.
The products normally costs double or triple at retail stores.
Hundreds of people come here everyday from all walks of life.
Huge hotels, and popular chains of restaurants,
as well as well-known establishments buy here too,
as it is indeed, the cheapest place in town!
