Chinatown
Chinatown rewards a street-level walk through conserved shophouses and the historic district south of the Singapore River. Its public streets are the starting point; individual sights need separate planning.
Why go
The shophouse streets make Singapore's urban conservation visible at walking pace. Look beyond a single shopping strip and follow the changes in façades and street activity across the district. Temples, shops and other attractions can add depth, but each has its own access arrangements.
What to look for
Rows of conserved shophouses define the historic streets.
Festive activity can change the feel of the district's public spaces.
Useful to know
Walk the public streets first, then choose indoor stops according to their own opening details.
Allow time to wander across several streets rather than treating Chinatown as one building.
