"Discovering Singapore’s Colorful Ethnic Enclaves Visit three distinct neighborhoods in central Singapore to get a feel for the cultures that have contributed to the city’s pan-Asian identity. You can start in Chinatown, where the high rises of the central business district give way to foot reflexology spas, night markets, and souvenir stalls. Then head north to Little India, a neighborhood dominated by Hindu temples, goldsmiths, and fruit stalls blaring Hindi music. Finally, swing east into Kampong Glam near Arab Street. Here you’ll see fabric shops flanked by cafés that sell falafel and flavored tobacco for hookah pipes. Pull up a chair at one of the many outdoor eateries on pedestrian-only Haji Lane and settle in for some prime people watching."
