3 unusual facts about Simei Estate


Simei Estate

Simei has a 6-storey shopping mall that is undergoing renovation (called East Point Mall), where only NTUC FairPrice and NTUC Healthcare (Unity) still survives at a moment.

The Estate is named after the Chinese "Four Beauties" (“四įžŽâ€ whose homophonic transliteration is "Simei") who were known to be the legendary four most beautiful women of ancient China.

For a brief period, the roads in the estate were named after Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan and Yang Guifei, the legendary Four Beauties in Chinese history.
