Chinatown, Singapore - Narrow Roads of Chinatown

The roads in the heart of Chinatown are narrow with buildings facing close to one another. Where vehicle traffic is allowed to pass, the roads are jammed with cars and taxis moving at a snail's pace. Consider taking the commuter train to the MRT Chinatown Station instead of a car or taxi unless you prefer getting caught in traffic, especially in the evenings.

As evening approaches, the pedestrianised sections get crowded and noisier with tourists walking elbow to elbow exploring the street stalls for souvenirs. It is also a popular destination with both locals and tourists for the varieties of street food serving mainly Singaporean-style Chinese dishes. As evening approaches, dining tables and plastic chairs line the already narrow roads of Chinatown.
