Why to visit China Town

Chinatown in Singapore is a centre for all things Chinese, and this extends to the shops and malls in the region. Whether you're seeking for traditional products, imported toys, or even rare antiques, you'll find them all created in China. Going on a walking tour of the shops and stalls on Pagoda Street, Trengganu Street, Sago Lane, Smith Street, and Temple Street is one of the quickest ways to get to know Chinatown. With hundreds of vendors offering everything from silk robes to lucky cats, these crowded alleyways encompass all the sights and noises that visitors expect of Chinatown.

The most appealing aspect of this market is that it crams all of the budget-friendly restaurants and street cuisine into a small space. A superb selection of street food carts, including fresh dim sum and crispy duck, can be found among the shopping. You'll be astonished to learn that the food items range in price from SGD 5 to SGD 10. If you want the best deal, remember to haggle while smiling. The market is open during the day, but after nightfall, when the lights shine brightly and hawkers persuade you to look at their wares, it is at its most beautiful. 

Special Tip

Do remember to arrive early because some stores stay open until 6 p.m., while others close at 11 p.m.
