Visited Chinatown at night to feel the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere. The streets are well decorated and the decorations look great! Chinatown is packed with many nice food stalls and has many oriental products. Instead of getting products online, you can purchase many of these items at physical stores, which decreases the waiting time during shipment. The streets can get quite crowded during festive seasons but during these festivities and it can get quite exciting!

Nice area to explore in the center of the city. Just opposite Chinatown MRT. Plenty of things to do around here. Maxwell food center is a great start for food lovers. Highly recommend the rojak local dish. The temple is huge and nice to visit too. Chinatown street market is filled with shops and restaurants too. Good for shopping especially for Singapore souvenirs. China point and People park shopping mall nearby too.

Chinatown easily makes it into my top 10 must do’s in Singapore. Huge variety of shopping and a delight to walk around. MRT makes it easy to get to & from. My favourite place to get medicinal products from but also great for souvenirs and gifts. Spend the day and see the temples as well.

Will specially take a trip there during before Chinese New Year and Mooncake/Lantern Festival to feel the atmosphere,take photos of the decorations and at the same time buy some festive season cookies,snacks,decorations. But today still have many days to Mooncake Festival so not very crowded but have many tourists,is a good sight. Is convenient to reach here as by MRT.

The building architecture was amazing and the narrow streets added to the great vibe. Plenty of cullenary delights to be experienced here along with lots of trinket and clothes shopping.
