Chinatown is a prominent landmark in Singapore where it is also a popular tourist attraction with its rich historical heritage providing a wide range of great sights and a spectrum of awesome delicacies. The Chinatown Street Market is a vibrant community which offers more than 200 food outlets spreading over four streets such as Pagoda Street, Trengganu Street, Sago Street, and Smith Street. It does not only gives you a unique and memorable shopping experience but also a place to learn more about the Chinese culture where a Chinese heritage museum was established within the market.
Just a small tip for the visitors, the best time to visit Chinatown and the street market is during the Lunar New Year. Chinatown will go into a decorative frenzy of stunning lights and ornamental display. The streets will be lined up with additional stalls touting their wares ranging from foodstuffs, clothes, potteries, plants, titbits, goodies and other household items.
