Chinatown
Just behind the soaring skyscrapers of Singapore's financial district lies Chinatown - the cultural hub of the Chinese migrants. Bound by Upper Pickering Street, Cantonment Road, New Bridge Road and South Bridge Road, the crowded and colourful network of streets and alleyways is the signature look of this area. Here, Chinese merchants hawk their wares from the ground floor of quaint pre-war shophouses, from delicate bales of silk and gold jewelry to Singapore t-shirts and traditional crafts.

The sights and sounds of Chinatown are like no other: medical halls mix snake skin, herbs and spices and other exotic ingredients into potions for all ailments; traditional delicacies like sea cucumbers lie drying in the street; fruit sellers squat near mounds of rambutans, pungent durians, mangosteens and other seasonal fruits; fortune-tellers peer intently at open palms over make-shift tables; hawkers barbeque thin slices of pork for passers-by.

Try the Tanjong Pagar area for traditional teashops, clog and kite makers, painted masks, waxed paper umbrellas, lacquerware from China, handicrafts and artefacts from all over Asia. Then wander over to Smith Street, Trengganu Street, Temple Street and Pagoda Street where the narrow streets are chockfull of bargains.

The modern face of Chinatown shopping can be found in the area around the junction of Cross Street with New Bridge Road and Eu Tong Seng Street. The large shopping complexes here, such as Chinatown Point, Yue Hwa, People's Park Complex and Chinatown Complex, are not only good sources of Chinese products but also offer bargain-prices for anything from electrical and electronic goods, luggage and textiles to bargain-priced clothes and cosmetics. A wide selection of local crafts is available at the Singapore Handicraft Centre in Chinatown Point.

Little India
As you step into Little India, be prepared for an overpowering of the senses! First, you will be greeted by the strong, heady scent of spices and jasmine garlands, followed by the treasure trove of silverware, brassware, ethnic jewellery and colourful silk saris, dazzling to behold. Traditionally the home of Singapore's Indian community, Serangoon Road and its neighbouring side streets are still today a bustling hive of sights, sounds and intriguing aromas.
