    Nothing to write home about. Very basic China town. San Francisco, London has bigger and better China towns. I thought it would be bigger in Singapore.

    Slowly everything is opening up again. It will soon be back to the way it was before covid. That said it was still a good experience and well worth a visit.
  • By Nikhil Agarwal
    Good for some souvenir shopping. Most of it is street shoppin but it's very lively at night. Sellers behave well unlike in Hong Kong where they start abusing if you try and don't buy. A go to place to buy fridge magnets, luggage tags, Singapore Lion miniature and other Nick knacks.
