Chinatown

This is a picture of Chinatown in the olden days,

 
Some background information about the History of Chinatown
Around 200years back, the ethnic Chinese were allocated the area southwest of the Singapore River and Chinatown was born. Within Chinatown, each dialect group occupied distinct areas and built social institutions such as clan associations to serve the collective needs of each dialect group. 



Samsui woman lived in Chinatown back in the olden days. The top picture will be how the samsui woman look like when they were out working.

After years of upgrading and with the advancement in technology, this is how the Chinatown looks like now.

In Chinatown, we can actually find delicious food such as 'Gui lin gao', 'dao suan' and many other Chinese traditional dessert.


Tourist feedback 'Chinatown really did give a slight background information on how does woman in the past work and what kind of place they actually stay in.'
'This is a really educating place for both youngster, elderly and also to tourists'
