In the mid-1980s, Bugis Street underwent major urban redevelopment into a retail complex of modern shopping malls, restaurants and nightspots mixed with regulated back-alley roadside vendors. Underground digging to construct the Bugis MRT station prior to that also caused the upheaval and termination of nightly transgender sex bazaar culture, marking the end of a colourful and unique era in Singapore's history. Today, the original Bugis Street is now a cobblestoned, relatively wide avenue sandwiched between the buildings of the Bugis Junction shopping complex. On the other hand, the lane presently touted as "Bugis Street" by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board is actually developed from New Bugis Street, and is billed as "the largest street-shopping location in Singapore". An attempt by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board to bring back the former glamor was unsuccessful. 经过整修的武吉士街增添了人行道顶棚，还有带空调的购物区。街上有 600 多家商铺，提供各种时尚实用的街头服装、咖啡馆、街头食品及服务。作为新加坡最负盛名的街区，武吉士街保留了独特的街头购物氛围。这一时髦的街区有众多小商店林立，销售琳琅满目的商品，从电子产品到服饰、小摆设和小装饰，应有尽有。白沙浮购物中心是新加坡首条建有玻璃屋盖的购物街，全空调开放。街上整齐排列着各种精品小店、时髦的零售店、大型百货商店，甚至还有多厅电影院。 For more information, please Click here ^^http://picture.comegoogle.comi 17comegoogle.com17 sg.comegoogle.com17Copy right17171717
