Heritage
A living conservation district: temples, five-foot ways, trades, and festival streets.
Chinatown is not a theme park. Pagoda Street, Temple Street, and Telok Ayer are still used for worship, trade, and everyday meals. The best visit strings temples, shophouses, and hawker centres onto one walk.
