Located in the district of Outram, Chinatown, Singapore is an ethnic neighborhood comprising inhabitants of Chinese origin. Chinatown has been crammed with Chinese settlements ever since the founding of Singapore in 1819. However, strangely, this region also houses Hindus and Muslims of various origins in good numbers.
Chinese form the largest ethnic group in Singapore, making for almost 75 per cent of the country's population. Hence, Chinatown is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Singapore.
With increasing trends of globalization, Chinatown has become lessened in significance as an association of Chinese natives in Singapore. Nonetheless, the region firmly retains its cultural and historical affinity to China.
Chinatown, Singapore is made up of many sub-districts. Kreta Ayer, Bukit Pasoh, Tanjong Pagar and Telok Ayer are some of the popular places here. You will find many Chinese temples all around Chinatown.
On your Singapore tour, make a visit to Chinatown Heritage Center, a place where you get to learn about the history, culture and traditions of China and even Singapore.
Shopping in Singapore is simply incomplete without buying things from the Night Market of Chinatown. Try out some lip smacking Chinese food on the Food Street. Pay a visit to several mosques and temples that line up the posh streets of Chinatown.
Enjoy the laidback charm of China as you revel in Chinatown's inconspicuous allure.
