Chinatown was originally designated for the Chinese community under the Raffles Plan. Today, it is a vibrant neighborhood known for its rich heritage, traditional shophouses, temples, and bustling street markets. The area is home to the <strong>Buddha Tooth Relic Temple</strong>, Sri Mariamman Temple (the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore), and the Chinatown Heritage Centre, which offers a glimpse into the lives of early Chinese immigrants.
