Chinatown is Singapore's traditional Chinese quarter where you will find an eclectic mix of traditional shops and markets, cultural points of interest, as well as cool bars and hip cafés.
A walk down Chinatown’s narrow streets with their picturesque shophouses, now repurposed as shops, hipster joints, restaurants and offices, reveals Singapore’s rich Chinese heritage as well as the country’s journey from a small fishing village to one of the world’s most progressive economies and trading ports. Visitors can stop by a stretch of shophouses that have been converted into the Chinatown Heritage Centre (chinatownheritagecentre.com.sg) to get a glimpse into the lives of Singapore’s early Chinese migrants. Chinatown offers visitors an interesting and harmonious mix of cultures, where the Hindu temple Sri Mariamman is on the same stretch as the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum. Visitors will appreciate the religious and cultural melting pot evident within the area.
