Snapsots of Singapore: Chinatown

ByThe Independent

January 30, 2014

It’s the time of the year again. Chinatown is bustling with people, tidbits and decorations. All red and gold and every colour in between. Here are some of the moments captured in Chinatown right before the Lunar New Year comes by:

Families walk through the side Buddha Tooth Relic Temple as they do their shopping in Chinatown.

Can you handle your future? The fortune teller says they get customers of all ethnicities these days.

A young Malay boy selling CNY goodies in Chinatown. He speaks fluent Mandarin.

An elderly woman collecting carton boxes to make ends meet, while CNY is a week away.

A young Indian family took their daughter to try out Cheongsam. All in the festive spirit.

Tourists marvelling at the items sold in Chinatown market for CNY.

Bargain, pick and buy! The night was so packed with everyone trying to do their last minute shopping before CNY.

Every shop hangs a banner similar to this.

An elder brother holds his younger brother who recently hurt his arm.

A non-local family post with the iconic horse at Chinatown.

Everyone takes picture at this junction!
