Upper Circular Road is a minor road in downtown Singapore. It connects South Bridge Road to New Bridge Road, about 70 meters south of the Singapore River. The road was known in Hokkien as 馬車街 (Taiji Romanisation: Bae1 Chia3 Kay1 , Church Romanisation: bée-chhia-ke, Taiwanese Romanisation: bée-tshia-ke), meaning "carriage street", owing to the presence of stables and coach builders in the area. It had an enclave of Teochews living here, a fact that has long been expunged.

Upper Circular Road continues from Circular Road, though the two roads do not actually meet - the present incarnation of the two anyway.

Upper Circular Road is a street located in the central region of Singapore. It is known for its bustling atmosphere, as it runs through several commercial areas and provides easy access to a variety of amenities. The street is lined with office buildings, shopping centers, and dining options, providing a convenient and diverse environment.

Upper Circular Road is well-connected to public transportation, with several bus stops and MRT stations located along its route. This makes it a popular destination for working professionals and visitors, who can easily reach other parts of the city.

In recent years, Upper Circular Road has undergone significant revitalization, with several new development projects underway. This has added a modern and cutting-edge vibe to the street, making it an attractive destination for those seeking a dynamic and convenient environment.

Overall, Upper Circular Road is a bustling and vibrant destination, offering a unique mix of commercial conveniences and urban excitement. Whether you are looking to do business or explore the city, Upper Circular Road is an excellent choice.

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.
