Chinatown
Chinatown was almost caught up in the rush to modernize
during the 80s. Luckily the trend turned instead towards restoration,
resulting in many of the old Chinese shophouses being restored to
their former character. A number have now been made into boutique
hotels and guesthouses offering unusual and quite unique accommodation.
Chinatown is now one of Singapore's most popular neighbourhoods.
Tiny shops with fascinating interiors provide an insight in to the
cultural heritage of the Chinese community in Singapore. A refreshing
change from the hectic pace of Orchard Road and a wonderful place
to wander, to shop and to eat.
Some of China Towns Attractions:
- Bukit Pasoh Chinatown Heritage Centre
Kreta Ayer
- Tanjong Pagar (Ethnic Quarters - Chinatown) Telok Ayer Chinatown
Food Street
- Chinatown Night Market Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
Getting there: Some routes suggested for getting in China Town.

River to the north.
