shophouses, from delicate bales of silk and gold jewelry to Singapore t-shirts and traditional crafts.

The sights and sounds of Chinatown are like no other: medical halls mix snake skin, herbs and spices and other exotic ingredients into potions for all ailments; traditional delicacies like sea cucumbers lie drying in the street; fruit sellers squat near mounds of rambutans, pungent durians, mangosteens and other seasonal fruits; fortune-tellers peer intently at open palms over make-shift tables; hawkers barbeque thin slices of pork for passers-by.

Then wander over to Smith Street, Trengganu Street, Temple Street and Pagoda Street where the narrow streets are chockfull of bargains.

Shopping in Orchard

Orchard Road supposedly got its name from the orchards and plantations that existed in the area until the turn of the 20th century. In the 1900s, a mysterious disease swept through the nutmeg plantations, wiping them out within a year. Because of its location in a valley, floods were also common. They were only controlled in 1965 when Stamford Canal - part of which runs below the pedestrian mall fronting Wisma Atria Shopping Centre today - was deepened and widened.

In the 1970s, pioneering landmarks like C. K. Tangs, Plaza Singapura and the Mandarin Hotel came up and led the way for entertainment complexes. Brick by brick, and block by block, towers of glass and steel lined what used to be mud-tracks to make Orchard Road the premier shopping belt today.
