Stroll along the streets steeped in Chinese culture and charm. With its inimitable mix of shops selling everything from exquisite silk cheongsams (traditional fitted Chinese dress) to herbal preparations by the trusty sinseh (medicine man), the main streets branch out to side streets of pushcarts that offer a myriad of products.

At one end, discover Chinatown Point, for clothes at bargain prices and Oriental houseware. At the other end (Smith Street), you will be treated to an entire street of delicious hawker fare. For those into gold jewellery, stop by one of the many Chinese jewellery shops along South Bridge Road.
