This is always a busy corner in Chinatown. A nice location. You can have a meal, or a drink while you watch the world go by. The restaurant does brisk business. Unfortunately, this is now a pale comparison to what it was before Covid-19 pandemic.
This is peak hour in the evening. Usually, the restaurant would be packed. The street would be busy with people. Not so now.
They didn't even bother to open the space opposite which is an extension of the restaurant until after 7 pm.
This is Chinatown Complex. The food stalls are on the second level.
The shops take up the ground floor. It is under renovation now. In the basement is the wet market.
The Tin Tin Shop. I have no idea how long shops like this one can last.
Now, this is interesting. Someone has taken up these units on the second and third floor. They had been empty for so long. They call themselves the Sweet Tea Cafe. Haven't a clue how they are doing. Maybe I will check it out another time.
This building looks like it has been given a new coat of paint recently. ![8.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYJRAkSqwuc6Q7VoufFMgZjbi3S67P9Vk4D13KoU1sseQ/8.jpg)
All in all, the streets were not busy at all during this peak period. Shops are empty of shoppers. Some have closed down. If the situation doesn't improve, more shops will have to close. Rentals here are very high. Very sad indeed.
Remnants of the Chinese New Year decorations. I am surprised they are still there. Someone is slacking. That must not do - Covid-19 or not.
