Far East Square, Singapore (1 August 2017)
Far East Square (GPS: 1.28327, 103.84837) is a conservation area within the China Square subzone of Outram, Singapore in Postal District 01. Bounded by Cross Street, Telok Ayer Street, China Street and the pedestrianized Pekin Street, Far East Square contains old shophouses that have been restored and readapted for present-day use. Covering an area of 16,550 sq meters (178,000 sq ft), the square has commercial space for restaurants, bars, shops, and other outlets catering mainly to the office crowds of the Financial District.
Within Far East Square, you can view the four different styles of shophouses: Early Style, Transitional Style, Late Straits Eclectic Style and Art Deco Style. These four styles appeared between 1840 and 1960's. Far East Square is approached through five gates, named after the five elements of the Chinese universe: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Within Far East Square is the Fuk Tak Chi Museum, the oldest temple to be built in Singapore, and today a museum.

About this website
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
