Singapore Chinatown

Chinatown is one of the must-see cultural enclaves for visitors heading to Singapore.
The heart of Chinatown is a bustling, colourful mix of old and new, from family-run goldsmiths and medicine halls, to textile stores and dim sum restaurants. Popular bakeries like Tong Heng Oriental Pastry on South Bridge Road, tea houses like Kwong Chen on Sago Street, hawker stalls, as well as stylish bars along Club Street, are also housed in this precinct, making Chinatown a well-balanced heartland.
In addition to the nearby Chinatown Complex and Maxwell Food Centre, the culinary enthusiasts among you will be glad to know that Smith Street, one of the main roads within Chinatown, closes to vehicular traffic after dark. Here at the Chinatown Food Street, you can enjoy alfresco dining at this hawker centre that serves up all the best local dishes.
