Discover 9 breathtaking filming locations for Crazy Rich Asians.

From its release, Crazy Rich Asians received widespread attention and support from audiences because it was the first Hollywood film with an all-Asian cast (since The Joy Luck Club in 1993). The film's main setting is primarily Singapore; however, if you look closely, you'll see that the filming locations for Crazy Rich Asians span from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and even the remote islands of Malaysia. Below are 9 filming locations for Crazy Rich Asians that you can actually visit in real life.

1. Newton Food Center, Singapore

Nowhere else but Newton Food Centre was Nick and Rachel's first stop on their visit to Singapore. With nearly 100 stalls offering a wide variety of food, it's the ideal place for tourists to explore Singaporean cuisine in particular and Asian cuisine in general.

Some delicious dishes you should try at Newton Food Centre include TKR satay (chicken, lamb, or pork), Alliance Seafood's chili crab, Kwee Heng's duck noodles, or Hup Kee's fried oyster omelette.

2. Raffles Hotel, Singapore

Raffles Hotel is one of Singapore's most renowned hotels, so it's no surprise that Nick and Rachel stay there in the movie Crazy Rich Asians. The hotel is temporarily closed for maintenance and is expected to reopen in 2019.

Don't forget to stop by Long Bar – the birthplace of the Singapore Sling – to sample this famous gin-based cocktail, and be sure to stroll through the hotel lobby for a warm cup of tea.

3. CHIJMES Hall, Singapore

If you stroll through CHIJMES Hall on a weekend, you might come across a wedding being held in this small 19th-century chapel. It's also conveniently located near the Raffles Hotel, so you can easily visit both places at once.

With incredibly spectacular and unexpected water effects, Khoo-Lee's wedding transformed this Singapore venue into an impressive indoor stream.

4. Supertree Grove, Singapore

This is where the party of the century in the movie was held, and it's also a source of pride for the people of Singapore. The most impressive feature here is the towering supertrees, some reaching up to 16 stories high, which collect solar energy and emit light at night. Entry is free; however, if you want to view the Supertree Grove from above, you need to purchase a ticket for 6 SGD.

5. Langkawi Island, Malaysia

In the movie, Colin and Nick escape to a place called Rawa Island, which in reality is Langkawi – an archipelago located off the west coast of Malaysia, an hour's flight from the capital Kuala Lumpur. Langkawi consists of 99 islands and is also known as the Eagle Islands because the word "Lang" in Malay comes from the word Helang, meaning eagle.

Some of the famous places here include the Langkawi Sky Bridge, Kilim Karst Eco-park, Kota Mahsuri, and Pantai Cenang beach.

6. Four Seasons Resort Langkawi, Malaysia

If you're wondering where Araminta's party took place, the answer is Four Seasons Resort Langkawi. The highlight of this resort is its location on Langkawi Island – a place said to be just as beautiful as Bali and Phuket.

With its ocean-facing villas featuring private spas and pools in each unit, Four Seasons Resort Langkawi is a place that can win over anyone, even the most discerning traveler.

7. Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, Malaysia

Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, also known as the Blue Mansion, was once the home of a Chinese businessman in the 20th century. Today, it is a hotel in Penang that hosts daily tours.

If you only look at it on screen, you won't be able to fully appreciate the green hues of this mansion; however, you can certainly recognize the interior that appeared in the epic mahjong scene between Rachel and Eleanor – Nick's mother.

8. Bukit Pasoh Road, Singapore

Singapore's pastel-colored houses are an integral part of Peranakan Chinese architecture. They appear in the scene where Rachel and Peik Lin are chatting in Singapore's Chinatown.

One of the highlights in this area is the Chinatown Heritage Centre, which tells the historical stories of the immigrant population.

9. Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Finally, we can't forget Singapore's famous Marina Bay Sands towers. If you want to experience the world's largest infinity pool, you need to book an overnight stay at the hotel, but even if you don't have the chance to stay there, you can still enjoy the magnificent view of Singapore from the observation deck on the 57th floor. The stunning views alone are enough to make you want to stay in this beautiful Lion City forever.
