Singapore: Southeast Asia's "Global Hub"

Singapore is a "global hub" in Southeast Asia—it is not only an international financial center, a core free trade port and a logistics transit hub, but also the strategic origin of the "Singapore + 1" global layout. With its efficient customs clearance system, mature capital operation capabilities and high-end service industry advantages, it provides core support such as financial settlement, resource connection and international tourist source introduction for the adjacent Bintan Island Free Trade Zone (Tanjung Pinang). It forms a complementary ecosystem of "Singapore's high-end services + Tanjung Pinang's resources and policies", becoming an important bridge and value amplifier for cross-border cooperation between China and Indonesia.Singapore's Joo Chiat district is the root of Peranakan (Baba-Nyonya) culture in Singapore, with a history dating back to the 15th century. At that time, Chinese immigrants who sailed south married local Malay/Indonesian indigenous people and multiplied, forming the unique Nyonya ethnic group, and this area gradually became their core settlement. In the early 20th century, Chinese landowner Chew Joo Chiat bought land from the original coconut plantations in Katong to build houses, attracting wealthy Peranakans and Eurasians to settle there. The district was named after him and once became a well-known wealthy area in Singapore. In 2011, it became Singapore's first national heritage conservation area, and in 2020, it was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List, perfectly preserving the courtyard-style shophouses built in the 1920s. The pink, green and blue "dopamine-colored" buildings on Kuncheng Road integrate Chinese lintel decorations, Malay geometric patterns and European-style window lattices, hiding the marks of multicultural integration. It is also an excellent place to slowly appreciate Nyonya culture and Nanyang memories.
