Bugis
Bugis is one of Singapore's most layered districts, where the neon-lit stalls of Bugis Street market sit blocks from the colonial-era shophouses and mosques of Kampong Glam. By day it's a shopping and heritage hub anchored by Bugis Junction mall and the National Library; by night its street markets and hawker fare give it a livelier, more youthful energy than much of central Singapore.
