Chinatown is one of Singapore's most atmospheric neighbourhoods, from the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and the Sri Mariamman Temple on South Bridge Road to the souvenir lanes of Pagoda Street. It is served by Chinatown MRT on the North-East and Downtown lines, and food lovers swear by Maxwell Food Centre and Chinatown Complex Food Centre. After dark, Ann Siang Hill and Club Street fill up with cocktail bars and restaurants in restored shophouses.
