## About

Chinatown is a MRT Station located in Outram. It has seven exits.

> Chinatown station has four platforms; both rail lines are served by two each. While the NEL station uses a more conventional island platform layout, the DTL station uses a side platform arrangement. Full-height Platform screen doors isolate the air-conditioned station from the tunnel environment, enhancing commuter safety and station comfort. A set of escalators, stairs and lifts connect to the concourse above.
> Passenger Information Systems, which are plasma display screens located at each platform, display expected train arrival times and key messages. Tactile flooring helps to guide the visually-handicapped from the platform to the station exits.

## Art In Transit

### North-East Line

The Phoenix's-Eye Domain by Tan Swie Hian:This outstanding collection of artworks comprises a resplendent wall mural depicting the arrival of Singapore’s early Chinese immigrants and three sets of rhyming couplets in semi-cursive Chinese calligraphy. The richly coloured mural, featuring the mythical phoenix is located at concourse level while the poems are rendered as floor calligraphy at concourse and platform level.

### Downtown Line

Flying Colours by Cheo Chai-Hiang:Flying Colours attempts to translate the mundane hanging of clothes to dry on poles outside windows into one which is festive and celebratory. Created in a lenticular format, commuters will experience the subtle changes in colours, giving the illusion that the clothes are flying in the wind as if in transit. The artwork spans the concourse and leads commuters to the platforms.
