    Chinatown has 2 hawker stations. Both are good . This china town has the usual booths selling all kinds of stuff. There are some nice restaurants in the area and it seems to be a little cleaner than most china towns

    Located in Chinatown, Singapore. Free access to public to view it. Has a dress code and no exposing shoulders and wearing clothes below knee length just like most other religious places.

    Really interesting heritage museum. Very small, quick and easy to get around but worth it to understand the heritage of Singapore.

    Worth popping in for a look around as the temple is beautiful and the colours stunning. You have to remove your shoes as it is a place of worship so be respectful and keep to the areas where tourists are allowed.

    Allow about 15 minutes or so to walk around and take a few photos.

    We found numerous shops, money changers with good rates and massage places to explore in the People's park complex. The food court down the bottom offers value for money and we ate there a couple of times trying different foods each time. A great place to explore right near Chinatown.

    I am rating this 5:5 simply for the amazing views from the top; however it was quite a mission to actually get there.

    We found the building quite easily - it’s hard to miss being so tall - but finding the entrance was quite tricky. We had to find building G, and then were turned away because we didn’t have cash! Being determined to do this we asked where the nearest cash point ATM was (over and along the road) so armed with our cash ($6 per person) we made our way back. We then got tripped up because we didn’t have one of the ID documents needed to access the turnstile (not sure what they were, they seemed to be travel docs). I think the man in the ticket office felt sorry for us as he handed us his own personal access pass if we left behind a driving licence as collateral.

    Our persistence paid off and we were blown away by the views. You can walk all around the top of all 6 towers. Mainly this was the residents doing this at the time we came (6pm) so it wasn’t at all crowded

    This large historical temple is situated near the Telok Ayer MRT station. It is easy to find. The decorations on its ceilings and rooftops are convoluted and colorful. The building is well maintained.

    New buildings with various restaurants and renovate urban park above Tanjon Pagar Mrt station will just astonish people passing by. Either the stylish skylines or the greenery path ways certainly relax and release urban tensions.

    Great area which has a vibrant feel to it. It also feels very safe compared to other Chinatowns. Lots of shops selling interesting souvenirs. Also lots of eateries which do various interesting Chinese meals

    Chinese New Year is celebrated throughout the Asian region. It is often called Lunar New Year, as it is celebrated throughout Asia. Lunar New Year is celebrated according to the Lunar calendar. Apart from Singapore, the Lunar New Year is celebrated in Korea and Taiwan. In mainland China, it is celebrated as the Spring Festival. Of course, the Lunar New Year is celebrated in Chinatowns around the world. The method of celebration is similiar -- feasting, exchanging red envelopes and lots of fireworks!

    There were lots of shops here. It’s across from the blue line stop at Chinatown. Good food, good coffee (aside from Starbucks and maccas). Fairly clean. Although no seats to sit and rest after walking around all day.

    Lined with pre-war shophouses and religious buildings, I always find something new to explore in Telok Ayer whenever I am here.

    Telok Ayer Street used to face the original seafront and served as docking bay for the boats and sampans of early immigrants.

    The famous Thiam Hock Keng Temple is exquisite in its architecture. There is a wishing well within the temple compound. Next to the temple is the Former Nagore Dargah erected by the Chulia community,

    Amoy Street Hawker Centre is located near the entrance to Ann Siang Hill and is one of the popular food centre in Singapore. It is famous for their meat dumplings, lor mee, zi char etc.

    Nearest MRT - Telok Ayer Station (blue downtown line)

    The service was great and received great knowledge for Jacob, who is an in store tea connoisseur. I would recommend tea lovers and just anybody who seeks to learn about the art of tea to visit.

    We went last week and had so much fun with Mary and Annie leading us not only a through the fabulous food we prepared from scratch ( a yummy chicken curry, roti jala and tapioca desert) but also the rich heritage of Singapore.
    I would highly recommend this wonderful experience, you will have a great laugh and time. And of course eat the food you've prepared.
