Chinatown - Singapore

Last full day in Singapore for us today. And even though we love the place, the great distance between Stockholm and this part of the world makes it a little uncertain when we'll see it again. Therefore we decided to be really busy bees and try to see as much as possible starting with Chinatown.

The Chinese people are by far the largest ethnic group in Singapore, composing approximately 75% of the population, which makes it perhaps a little bit silly to talk about a Chinatown part of town. However there's a certain district here called Chinatown that does retain buildings of historical and cultural significance. Large sections of it have been declared national heritage sites.
