As you know, today most of the city's residents are Chinese, but it was not always like that. In the distant past, this people lived in a separate quarter, and quite poor. Only in the course of time the population has grown several times.

Shacks of poor migrants turned into three-story home-shops. These buildings, combining shops and living rooms have survived to this day, and the style in which they were created even got its name "Chinese baroque". In addition to the unusual buildings, the so-called Food Street, with a variety of public catering, the Night Market, several Chinese Buddhist temples, mosques and the famous Hindu temple of Sri Mariamman can be found in the quarter.
