Chinatown is delightful and polished for foreign and local visitors. It is rich in stores selling similar souvenirs, and its outward appearance resembles a town meticulously built. However, there is more to Chinatown than its colors and outward appearance.

This town has one of the most popular tourists spot- Telok Ayer Street, one of the city’s fantastic dining and nightlife places. Chinatown is home to modern rooftop bars and starred restaurants, offering unique dishes and drinks, and one such restaurant is My Awesome Cafe, known for its healthy meals.

Kreta Ayer Road in Chinatown hosts various significant landmarks, including the Hindu temple and mosque. At the same time, Telok Ayer is home to Thian Hock Keng Temple– Singapore’s oldest Chinese spiritual center where survivors from the Chinese journey would come to pray and give thanks.

China town is endowed with several places calling for you to visit and explore. Consider some of them:

China Heritage Center has buildings that replicate the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by sundry stores, tailor shops, and crowded living quarters. As you walk through the center, you will be taken back to the ancient days by the audio conversations and ambient soundscapes.

The people’s park complex: You cannot complete your tour of Chinatown without visiting the People’s Park Complex. This masterpiece represents the architectural ingenuity of the 1970s built using raw concrete before it was reborn with yellow. This complex will find jewelry stores, street snacks, and electronic goods.

The Affogato Lounge: We would not leave Chinatown without whetting our appetite. The Affogato Lounge satisfies your desire for deserts with unique affogato cakes you will not find anywhere else.

India is a neighboring country that many Singaporeans long to visit but may lack the resources and the time to travel there. However, Singapore brings India to the Island through its Little Indian town. Once in this city, you will unmistakenly think you are walking in the streets of Mumbai.

The shops sell gold chains displayed behind shining glass counters, hand-tied garlands are hung on almost every outdoor stall, and sweet-smelling cardamom fills the air. You may be reminded that you are still on Singapore’s soil when you spot the country’s orchids being sold at the market.

Though Singapore’s social policies discourage the establishment of ethical territories, Little India has beaten all odds to remain a cultural and commercial hub for Indians in Singapore. The first Indian immigrant chose this area to rear cattle because of its better water source.

Here you can buy many goods from a 24-hour Mustafa shopping mall at considerably lower prices. If you are looking for delicious meals, you can pay a visit to one of the city’s oldest restaurants- Ananda Bhavan and have your fresh deep-fried bread or puri snack.

India is not complete without temples, and one such biggest landmark temple, the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, is found in Little India. Residents often stream here in the evening after a day of hard work to give thanks. There are many activities and things to marvel at in this part of Singapore that leaves you fulfilled.
