Trengganu Street is situated within the Kreta Ayer subdistrict of the Chinatown Conservation Area.11 Part of Trengganu Street, the area between Temple Street and Pagoda Street, was converted into a pedestrian mall in 1997.12 The remaining part of the street and Sago Street were also closed in 2003 to form a network of street markets comprising stalls selling a plethora of goods such as antiques, books, toys and jewellery, so as to revive the atmosphere of the old Chinatown. Traditional trades such as watch repairing, fan-making and fortune-telling were also reintroduced on this street.13 Located at 25 Trengganu Street is a refurbished and restored 80-room hotel, Santa Grand Hotel Lai Chun Yuen, which once housed the famous Chinese opera theatre.
