Nankin Mall is a shopping arcade at the pedestrianized Nankin Street. Located at the boundary between Chinatown and the Financial District of Singapore, Nankin Mall is housed in restored Straits Eclectic shophouses. The houses have been gentrified. Their interiors are often gutted out and readapted for modern retail use.

Nankin Street has been tiled over and turned into a pedestrian zone. It is one of the old streets of Singapore, having appeared in Stamford Raffles' Jackson Plan of 1822 for Singapore. It was of course named after the city of Nanjing in China. On the 1822 map, it appeared as Nankeen Street.

The outlets at Nankin Mall are mostly eateries, from restaurants to pubs and bistros. Their clientele comprises mostly white-collar workers of the Financial District.

Nankin Street used to extend west beyond South Bridge Road, as Upper Nankin Street, until New Bridge Road. That section, though still visible as the passage between Hong Lim Complex and Fook Hai Building, has similarly been pedestrianized.

Getting there

Take the North East Line of the Singapore MRT to the Chinatown MRT Station DT19/NE4. 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 China Square Central on your right, at the intersection with Upper Cross Street and Cross Street. Nankin Mall is located off South Bridge Road immediately after China Square Central.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
