A guide to Duxton Hill

Located a few streets south and east of the towering commercial buildings in the city is the quaint area of Duxton Hill. It has impressively preserved colonial shophouses with narrow streets with the charms of a secluded town. Many of these new establishments make use of the two and three storied structures that have aged over time with some of the buildings now hosting trendy cafes, chic bars, high end boutique, and creative restaurants. Walking around Duxton Hill, you can feel the nostalgia as old buildings and new ones make you want to grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat. Stop by one of the numerous cafes to try kaya toast with local coffee and visit such outlets as antique shops, creations, and shops with custom Singapore-inspired perfumes. As night comes, trendy eateries and wine bars glow, serving new Asian-Occident fusion dishes and handcrafted liquors with the shophouses backdrop. Duxton Hill is a perfect combination of heritage architecture and modern vibes, which contribute to the overall mood. Take an afternoon to wander through this neighborhood to see heritage conserved shophouse buildings brimming with history and vindicated by modernism.
