The district which famed for its trinkets and souvenirs vendors can be a little bit quiet when the vendors start to put their merchandise into the cart and close their kiosk.

“The merchants usually close their kiosk at 10 PM and then replaced by foods and beverages vendors, they have their daily shift,” as mentioned by Rizal, a local of the Malioboro district, Monday (10/1/2020).

Rizal also explained that the merchants’ carts and kiosks are put into certain alleys in the Malioboro district, entrusted to the local securities and will be taken by their owners the next day.
