| Chinatown. 🇸🇬 Singapore | Chinatown|||🗺 Region: Singapore 📍 Location: Chinatown (Kreta Ayer) The three characters '牛' (niu), '车' (che), and '水' (shui) form the place with the densest Chinese population in Singapore — Chinatown. Here, you can find a variety of Chinese cuisines, an important historical gathering place for the Chinese community, characterized by Sino-Portuguese style shophouses, and also one of the famous tourist attractions. Wandering through the many alleys of Chinatown, one can see traditional Chinese arts and crafts with an ancient charm — calligraphy, carving, puppets, Buddha statues, and incense, etc. There are also traditional Chinese medicine shops with their numerous small drawers that dazzle the eyes. The night market in Chinatown is brilliantly lit, somewhat reminiscent of temple fairs in China. Besides the Chinatown Complex and Maxwell Food Centre, you can also visit Smith Street, one of the main streets in Chinatown. As dusk falls, it becomes the pedestrian-only Chinatown Food Street, where you can feast at the open-air 'big stalls'. Moreover, the area also gathers some religious landmark buildings, including Indian temples and mosques, which form an interesting contrast with the surrounding Chinese-style architecture. Sri Mariamman Temple and Jamae Mosque are among the oldest pilgrimage sites in Singapore. The grand Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum houses the precious Buddha tooth relic. 👣👣👣 In 1330, the Chinese Yuan dynasty merchant and navigator Wang Dayuan visited Temasek and recorded the existence of a Chinese community here. This is one of the oldest Chinatowns in Singapore, and also the largest. Before the landing of the British Thomas Stamford Bingley Raffles in Singapore in 1819, Chinese laborers migrating southward had already been engaged in the cultivation of betel nut and pepper in this area. Subsequently, as more and more Chinese from the south came to Singapore, Raffles simply designated the area along Boat Quay southwest of the Singapore River as a residential area for the Chinese. At that time, Singapore had no water supply infrastructure, and all the water needed for the island had to be transported by ox carts from the wells at Ann Siang Hill and Spring Street, hence the area where water was supplied by ox carts came to be known as 'Chinatown'. In 1822, Raffles established Singapore's first urban plan, which designated Chinatown as the residential area for Chinese immigrants. Thereafter, with the development of Singapore and the booming population, Chinatown became overcrowded, and Chinese immigrants began to settle in other areas of Singapore. The emergence of public housing in the 1960s finally alleviated this situation.

Also known as Niu Che Shui, Chinatown in Singapore has now become one of the most bustling and lively areas in the heart of the city. In the past, before the advent of tap water facilities, the entire city's water supply was transported from the suburbs to the city center by ox carts, and then distributed to various places. Since Chinatown is located in the central area of Singapore, the region that supplied water by ox cart was thus named Niu Che Shui. 【Must-Visit Attractions】 - Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (Free Admission) - Various graffiti walls in Niu Che Shui (Free to view) - Admire the exterior of Pearl's Hill (Free to visit) - Admire the exterior of the Eastern Restaurant (Free to enjoy) - Nanyang Old Coffee 【Recommended Activities】 - Take a photo in front of the graffiti walls - Experience the evening night market in Niu Che Shui - Pray for blessings inside the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple - Shop for cost-effective souvenirs - Enjoy a comfortable massage at Pearl's Hill - Taste the authentic Nanyang Old Coffee at the street corner

Singapore is truly a treasure trove of multiculturalism, and Chinatown, or Niu Che Shui, is a bustling place that dazzles the eyes! When I first came here, I was immediately attracted by its simple charm, and I realized this is the famous Chinatown. Why is it called Niu Che Shui? It is said that in the past, due to the lack of tap water, people had to transport water by ox carts, hence the name 🌟 Highlights: As soon as you step onto this street, you'll feel the strong Chinese vibe. Street vendors sell a variety of cheongsams, Tang suits, ceramics, and the colorful arcade buildings leave a lasting impression. I even found a huge Werewolf Kill store at the corner, which instantly gave me a sense of old Shanghai's atmosphere. The most interesting part is that Chinese elements can be seen everywhere. People wear T-shirts with tiger and dragon patterns, and the public toilets are decorated with Peking opera facial makeup. The murals on the street provide a perfect backdrop for taking photos (unfortunately, my photographer was not up to par). Seeing such scenes of Chinese culture spreading abroad makes me feel extremely proud. I am grateful to the Chinese community for promoting and passing on Chinese culture and heritage around the world. 💰 Average Spending: If you come to Chinatown, be sure to visit the Chinatown Heritage Centre to learn about its history. The ticket price is only 15 Singapore dollars. In addition, there are Indian temples like the Sri Mariamman Temple, dedicated to the rain god worshipped by Indians, which you can visit for free. There's also the magnificent red-wall and glazed-tile palace—the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, which enshrines Maitreya Buddha and is also open to tourists for free. 🚉 Transportation Tips: Transportation is also very convenient. Just come out of the Chinatown MRT station in the city center, and you'll be here. It's very convenient whether you're going to Little India or Gardens by the Bay. 🍲 Food Recommendations: Of course, when you come to Chinatown, how can you miss out on the food? There are all kinds of delicacies on the Chinatown Food Street, such as Sichuan hotpot and Sha County snacks. My favorite is the Maxwell Food Centre, where the food is authentic and delicious, and you can enjoy a feast for just a few Singapore dollars, offering great value for money. In addition, there are Chinese baked buns and the famous Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice in Singapore (super delicious!). By the way, the scene in Detective Conan where Kyogoku protects Sonoko in 'The Fist of Blue Sapphire' was filmed here! ✅ Must Experience: When you come to Singapore, be sure to set aside time to visit Chinatown. Not only does it make you feel at home with clothing, food, accommodation, and transportation, but as a commercial street, it is very lively. The brightly lit buildings, bustling markets, and delicious and affordable snacks make for a delightful mood. I heard that Chinatown at night has a different flavor! Being abroad, hearing other Chinese people say that China is getting stronger, I feel especially proud! So, don't hesitate, pack your bags for Singapore, and be sure to check in at Chinatown to feel the joyful atmosphere!

One of the recommended places I've visited in Singapore with my family last year was Chinatown. We spent most of our time shopping for affordable souvenirs and trying out delicious food as there are so many shops to choose from. One of the restaurants we went to has colourful hanging decorations. It was amazing to look at! While strolling in the streets of Chinatown, we stumble into a beautiful infrastructure with exceptional exterior design. It was massive! It is called the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, enriched with Buddhist art and history. It takes less than 10 minutes walk from the Chinatown MRT station. Entry in the temple grounds is free, but ensure that you wear appropriate clothing. It is photoworthy! #freehotelstay #chinatown #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #Singapore
