However, from the 1980s to the mid-1990s, under the rotation of historical ships, stalls and vendors in various traditional industries, such as clogs makers, pancake cobblers, idol sculptors, letter writers, etc. , all moved away, leaving only the old building in Chinatown with a new look after transformation.
The scope of Chinatown includes not only Shuiche Road, but also Qiaonan Road, Xinqiao Road, Shanglin Biqi Street (commonly known as unilateral street), ShangFujian Street (commonly known as Changtai Street), ShangNanjing Street (commonly known as Baisong Street), ShangPearl Street (commonly known as Tofu Street), Shangcrois Street (commonly known as Haishan Street) and Kbe Street (a church named after the street).
Today's Chinatown is a modern shopping center, various vendors and a century-old shop. To the west of Daqiao South Road, there are department stores such as Mingzhu Square, Yuhua Chinese Goods and Tang Cheng Square. Further east, in addition to all kinds of temples, it is a new business district adjacent to the coast. There are the most famous temples in Singapore, as well as many restaurants and shopping spots. The most famous domestic drugs are Huoluo Oil and Li Qian Zhuifeng Oil.
The most exciting thing in Chinatown is during the Lunar New Year. By then, the whole area will be covered with lanterns; All kinds of small shops and grocery stores have been renovated, and there are many holiday goods and snacks. The Tanjung Bage community next to Chinatown is also worth visiting. There are many restaurants, bars, art galleries and souvenir shops here.
