    Colourful shophouses, shops, Sri Mariamman Temple, Chinatown Heritage Centre, troupe performance, trishaw ride, food centre, restaurants, wet market is what you can find in Singapore's Chinatown. With the new concept of a night market, it would be a good place to shop and eat. You can avoid the heat during day time.

    China Town is a very good place, as Little India, to spend a hole day, walking arround. Its also a very good place to look for a hotel. Everything is very save and clean, so ... as in this part of Singapore the streets are little and everything is near, you can find everything you nead for have a nice time. Many chinese shops and interestings antiques shops and the most nice Hindu temple and many many medical shops. Chinatown near Singapore River, was the heart of the city's trading activity in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Restoration traditional shop-houses, full of colour, yellows, pinks, blues, greens. Shops of souveniers, antiques along Pagoda and Trengganu Street.

    Chinatown is one of the interesting quarters of Singapore. Originally created by the British, who placed various Chinese immigrants, mostly by ethnic groups in defined areas. The British did this with all the Singaporean ethnic groups. Chinatown is a living breathing part of life here. They have a great wet market(wonderful fruits and veggies)-but just watch out for the turtles and frogs for sale (quite sad). Lovely architecture. One of the best times to witness life in Chinatown is a few days before the Lunar New Year or Dumpling festival. In the evening, there is a little night baazar (very tame compared to Bangkok), but still pleasant to walk through at night. On Smith Street-it is lined with hawkers, selling mostly Chinese food. Supposedly the government approached some of the best hawkers to set up shop here. Try the popiah-it's one of my favorites.

    It`s pretty clean by `World Chinatown` standards, but definitely a Singapore experience not to be missed. The sights and scents of China are unmistakeable as you wander the streets here. There are tea houses, grocery stores, enthusiastic vendors, restaurants and endless trinket shops. `$4 each or 3 for $10` is the most common sign you will see in Chinatown shopfronts. It is certainly one of the cheapest places to buy Singapore souvenirs, and bargaining is acceptable.

    English is spoken; most everyone in Singapore is at least bilingual. It's a colorful mix of Chinese (all taught Mandarin), Tamil Indians, and Malays and there are a wide variety of foods to try. (Note: bring your own napkins/tissue paper, local eateries tend not to provide them, and try the ice desserts--shaved ice with various toppings). The Chinatown is being developed and replaced by large shopping malls and restaurants. Temple Street, however, still retains some of the old world charm with outdoor bazaars and sidewalk eateries.

    Chinatown comes from the early British days where the city was partitioned into neighborhoods. Singapore is reportedly 77% ethnic Chinese so it’s a bit funny to have a neighborhood called Chinatown. Here one can see renovated Colonial era storefronts, a sharp departure from the modern buildings in Orchard Road and the Central Business District. Located here is the Sri Mariammann Temple, which isn’t in Little India. A separate entry/picture has been created for the temple. There are walks charting what you can see in Chinatown. In my opinion, if you are short of time, you might leave Chinatown for a subsequent visit. I did not see Chinatown until my third visit to Singapore. On the other hand, on a typical trip to Singapore, I might have only one day to sightsee.

    Suppose this is the most organized and cleanest Chinatown in the world. At least I know that its totally different from what its like in Bangkok. This might be the best place to stay when you're in Singapore. Lots of food shops, hawkers, restaurants around. Surrounded with places to shop. Best place to buy gifts for your folks back home. Quite a few hotels. Everything you want I suppose is here.
