Introduction of Chinatown
Chinatown, once an enclave for Singapore’s Chinese immigrant population, is now the top attraction for tourists. Not only that, Chinatown is also a home to many Chinese people.
Though connected to the Central Business District area of Singapore, there is still some hint of traditional handicraft workshops such as wood engraving services etc and many more. Whether you are a foodie exploring the traditional flavors of a country or one who loves fusion, Chinatown’s diverse local food offerings are certain to sate your appetite.
