Holiday In Pulau Ubin: An Enchanting Experience Of A Vibrant And Diverse Culture
Chinatown, Little India, the Arab Quarter, Towered over by the new Singapore skyline, these remaining ethnic enclaves are relatively untouched by modern development. Some of their tiny, terraced shophouses are still in operation – the shop operates from the front downstairs rooms, while the inhabitants live behind and above. Not surprisingly, traditional paces of worship remain most evocative of times past. The Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple, with its exuberant carvings; the graceful domes and dignified interior of the Sultan Mosque; and the Than Hock Keng Chinese temple are especially atmospheric and picturesque.
