Chinatown Lights Up


The crowds have decended on Chinatown again. The other time I came here was in the afternoon and I scouted this nice vantage point from above the old chinatown wet market. The latter is unfortunately is presently under renovation, and that's bad news for the tourists who come here to catch a glimpse of the real Singapore. Though it was really tiring at work on Fridays, I came tonight so the offices in the CBD would be lighted, and this strikes a contrast with the noise and excitement along the streets of Chinatown. I wished my canon camera had a wider angle on its lens...f4.5 at 4sec exposure.

Yes, I think you are right. The action of people buying and choosing new year stuff. Did you know the old market is closed for renovation? It's such a pity.

Yes i been to chinatown once on a hot afernoon after visting my grandmother at SGH... Its a pity but the makeshift market is relocated across the road of SGH. You still can find the old stalls there even though the market is smaller than it used to be...
