Singapore’s Chinatown. As you walk the streets in Chinatown your senses will all be awakened by the vibrant, gorgeous colors and designs in the buildings, the décor, the clothing, the signs. The aromas that fill the air will linger around you as you search for the eateries creating those enticing scents. Perhaps it’s a little sit down diner or simply a little stand selling noodles and fresh vegetables in a meat sauce. The sounds are everywhere, cars, trucks and buses, people bantering, in Cantonese and other dialects, with each other and with strangers across the way. The streets are filled with little stalls and shopkeepers encouraging tourists and locals alike to purchase their wares. You stop and feel the soft, elegant silk fabrics, the hard metal trinkets, the carved wooden art pieces; you admire the talented artists as you gaze upon their paintings and sculptures. There is also an area of Chinatown where you will find unique shops that carry rare and expensive antiques.

The fascination for these traditional Chinese quarters is not new. Tourists from the world over are drawn to this area now, as they have been for centuries before. Watching and listening is truly an adventure in itself. You will definitely want to visit the Chinatown Heritage Square, the Jamae Mosque and the Sri Mariamman Temple. Another interesting stop would be the Toy Factory Theatre Ensemble. This active theatre group consistently tests the boundaries of free expression. There are many more historic sites, interesting tours, museums and festivals. So much to see and do, so much to take in. After a day of exhilarating sightseeing, be sure and relax at a Singapore spa hotel where you will be greeted by the friendly, polite staff ready to make your stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible. The amenities are numerous and luxurious. Singapore Chinatown, not to be forgotten.
