Chinatown is the Chinatown of Singapore, which usually extends to the Singapore River and Xinqiao Road in the north. In the west. Maxwell Road and Creta Eier Road. Cecil street in the south and east.

China City is called "Chinatown" because the original residents used it to pull water for cleaning. In fact, the formation of Chinatown is closely related to Raffles' urban plan.

In many southern dialects of China, "cart" means "pulling a waterwheel". Therefore, the original meaning of "Chinatown" is the subject-predicate-object structure of Chinatown (subject), car (predicate verb) and water (object), which means that Chinatown is drawn by Chinatown.
