Local Life
Charming Tai Ping Shan Street
Tai Ping Shan St, the hub of the old Chinese quarter back when there was racial segregation, has a chill neigh-
bourhood vibe and quaint cafes. But it's best known for its three old
temples
(B2; 42, 34 & 9 Tai Ping Shan St;
8am-6pm; 26).
Pak Sing Ancestral Hall
(c 1851), the 'people's temple', was a clinic for Chinese pa-
tients refusing treatment by Western medicine, and a storeroom for bodies awaiting burial in China.
Kwun Yum
Temple

MARKET

GOOGLE MAP
Officially named Upper Lascar Row, 'Cat St' is a mini flea market of antiques and curios.
There are authentic items, but most of what you see are fakes or rejects from some fam-
ily's house move. That said, it's an interesting place to browse for gifts and souvenirs. Re-
member to bargain.
