This painting vividly portrays Chinatown in Singapore, capturing the bustling street life and intricate details of traditional shop houses, street vendors, and hanging lanterns. The monochrome style enhances the nostalgic, old-school atmosphere, evoking a sense of history and heritage, while the looming modern skyscrapers in the background create a striking contrast, symbolising the evolution of the city from its historical roots to its contemporary skyline.
Tung Yue Nang was awarded the first prize at the Annual Dr Tan Tze Chor Art Awards Ink Painting Category in 2002, 2014 and 2019. Cape of Good Hope Art Gallery organised a solo exhibition for Tung Yue Nang in 2014 titled Silence: Ink Paintings by Tung Yue Nang.
