Did You know?
Did you know that Singapore's Chinatown is commonly known in Mandarin as "Niu Che Shui," which translates to "bullock water cart"? This name originates from the 19th century when fresh water was transported to the area by bullock-drawn carts, highlighting the community's resourcefulness in overcoming early water supply challenges
Exploring Chinatown today, visitors can immerse themselves in this rich history by visiting the Chinatown Heritage Centre on Pagoda Street. Housed within three beautifully restored shophouses, the centre offers a glimpse into the lives of early Chinese immigrants, showcasing their struggles and triumphs in a new land.
