With shady nightclubs and KTVs, the Duxton area<\/a> used to be the lesser sibling to neighbouring streets like Ann Siang Hill and Club Street. Today, Duxton is bursting at the seams with hipster cafes and trendy restaurants, making it one of the best places to wine, dine and hang out.<\/p>

Duxton is an enclave where the traditional meets the contemporary. You can stroll along the traditional shophouses during the day and take refuge in one of the many cosy cafes<\/a> while waiting for the nightlife to begin. Just a stone\u2019s throw away from the CBD<\/a>, Duxton transforms into a post-work yuppie hotspot in the evenings.<\/p>

If you\u2019re in the mood for exploring this weekend, check out our pick of five places to visit in Duxton Hill. From shopping to shopping, you can be sure that we\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>
