During the
weekend you would be amazed to experience Singaporean consumerism at its best.
The New Bugis Street is billed as the largest shopping location in the whole of
Singapore. 2. The Geographical Layout Bugis Street lies in an extensive area which was previously referred to in the past, by the Chinese-educated community, as Xiao Po or little slope. Now housing over 600 stalls, it offers a diverse mix of trendy and functional street wear, cafes, hawker food and services. Possibly one of the best known areas in Singapore, Bugis Street retains its distinctive street shopping feel. The actual Bugis Street has now been converted into a cobble stoned street with
a relatively wide avenue that stands between the various buildings at Bugis
Junction. The New Bugis Street has its entrance at the Victoria Street facing
the original Bugis Street and Bugis Junction to its other entrance along Queen
Street facing the entrance to Albert Street. You can imagine the area
that the Bugis Street occupies. 3. Places for Sightseeing There are not many places for sightseeing in Bugis Street apart from the odd mosque or temple. So the best thing that one can do is to go window shopping and if you like something you can always pink it up. This is exactly what Singaporeans do at Bugis Street. You can visit the Kuan Yin Thong Hood Cho. The place is dedicated to Kuan Yin, the Goddess of
Mercy. According to legend wishes made in here come true, which would explain
why it's always packed. Sultan Mosque or the ‘Masjid Sultan’ as it is also known
is the largest mosque in Singapore, the building is easily identified thanks to
its golden domes, but there's not much to see inside. ConclusionBugis Street in Singapore is one interesting and colorful place that you should not miss out on while in Singapore. While there are not too many places for sightseeing, the area has clean and modern shops. Until next time, happy shopping!Related ArticlesYou may also wish to read the following related articles:
