Nankin Mall (see map) 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. 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/Cross Street. Nankin Mall is located off South Bridge Road immediately after China Square Central.
