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
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
