Clarke Quay and Chinatown




Date: Wednesday, 6 February 2008.
Location: The Central, Clarke Quay <-> MRT, North-East Line (NEL) <-> Street Market, Chinatown.

As I have mentioned here (in Indonesian), this is the first of our itinerary in enjoying Chinese New Year holiday in Singapore.

Wednesday, 6 February 2008, on Chinese New Year's eve, I got half day off. After picking up my kids at Clementi (my wife is attending a gathering with her friends there), we went to the Chinatown area, just to see the hustle and bustle of the street markets around Pagoda Street and Temple Street during Chinese New Year's eve.

Since the Chinatown area would be closed to traffic in the evening, we parked our car at The Central in Clarke Quay, and we took the North-East Line MRT train to Chinatown.

Both Inka and Irza got themselves some Chinese New Year themed souvenirs from the market.

  4. Dari stasiun MRT Chinatown, tinggal naik MRT ke stasiun MRT Clarke Quay. Cuma satu stasiun saja. Kalau mau jalan kaki juga bisa, tidak terlalu jauh (untuk ukuran orang Singapore...)

  6. Dari Chinatown susur aja Eu Tong Sen Street ke arah utara, menyusur toko-toko sepanjang Chinatown, nanti kalo udah ketemu mall The Central dan jembatan Singapore river, belok kiri kalau mau ke Clarke Quay. Kalau mau ke Boat Quay, belok kanan.
