Singapore's Chinatown is an ethnic neighbourhood featuring distinctly Chinese cultural elements and a historically concentrated ethnic Chinese population. Chinatown is located within the larger district of Outram.

As the largest ethnic group in Singapore is Chinese, Chinatown is considerably less of an enclave than it once was. (Note: The name Chinatown （唐人街） is usually used by non-Chinese Singaporeans whereas Chinese Singaporeans usually use the term Niu Che Shui （牛车水） as the term Chinatown （唐人街） usually refers to enclaves of Chinese people in regions where Chinese people are the minority ethnic group.) However, the district does retain significant historical and cultural significance. Large sections of it have been declared national heritage sites officially designated for conservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority.

If you would like to visit Singapore, best before chinese new year, it's happening and fun, many festival events going on.
Chinatown night market is one of the most popular celebration for all Singaporean. Duration for at least one week with stalls selling all sort of new year food and gifts including the traditional stuff. Wax food is one of the must for cantonese. This wax stall usually stand out from the others and it is always a photographer lover and here is my version.
Hope you enjoy the celebration here.
