Located in the heart of Chinatown, this six-story department store, part of the Yue Hwa chain, is set in the former Nam Tin Building, also known as the Great Southern Hotel, originally built in 1936. At the time, it was the tallest structure in Chinatown and the first Chinese hotel in Singapore equipped with an elevator. For the past 20 years, it’s housed Singapore’s only department store specializing in Chinese silk and cheongsam dresses, as well as Chinese food, tea, and collectibles—stop here to get extra-special souvenirs.
