Singapore's historic Chinatown is a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and markets as well as cool stores and cafes.

The cramped five-foot ways, dingy alleys and raucous street hawkers are relics of Chinatown's past.

Yet pockets of history remain in Chinatown, along with more modern sights. You could easily spend a few days wandering through these still-narrow streets.
