The World Without Us… Cb Day 39

Amoy Street (simplified Chinese: 厦门街; traditional Chinese: 廈門街) is a one-way street located within Chinatown, within the Outram district in Singapore.

During the British colonial era, Amoy Street was noted for its opium smoking dens. The Chinese name for the street is based on landmarks in the area: it is called ma cho keng au (妈祖宫后) in Hokkien (rear of the Ma Cho Temple), or kun yam miu hau kai in Cantonese (behind the Kun Yam temple), referring to the Thian Hock Keng Temple on Telok Ayer Street where both goddesses were worshipped.
