Chinatown

As the name implies, Chinatown is where one would expect authentic and traditional Chinese products. From antiques and cultural artifacts to apparel and accessories, Chinatown is especially inviting during the Chinese New Year season when streets will be blocked out to make way for more stalls and massive crowds. A once red-light district turned succesful restoration project, Chinatown is indeed a colourful place with rich cultural heritage. Tradition in modern Singapore, houses and buildings from ancient past have been restored into their former glory and turned into shophouses as offices, quaint shops, boutique hotels and guest houses. Visitors eating exotic tropical fruits by the road side like the rambutan, durian and mangosteens are not uncommon sights in Chinatown. The streets have much to offer to bargain hunters looking for Chongsam, jewellery, Singapore T-shirts, pottery and traditional crafts. This area is also known for its traditional crafts such as painted masks, paper umbrellas, clogs, kites and antiques. Electronic goods, luggage, textiles and other more conventional products can also be found here. To experience a unique blend of cultural heritage and stylish modernity, Chinatown is the place for it!
