Hong Lim Complex (GPS: 1.28467, 103.84565) is a shopping arcade, food centre and apartment complex in the China Square neighbourhood of Outram, Singapore. It is located at the junction between Upper Cross Street and South Bridge Road.
Hong Lim Complex was of course named after Cheang Hong Lim (1841-1893), the 19th century local tycoon whose properties included trades in opium and spirit, but who has also donated generously to the public, providing space, among others, for the creation of Hong Lim Park.
Getting there
Take the North East Line of the Singapore MRT to the Chinatown MRT Station. Exit the station to Pagoda Street. Walk the length of Pagoda Street to South Bridge Road. Turn left and walk north on South Bridge Road till you see Hong Lim Complex after the intersection with Upper Cross Street.
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.
