About Activity
Exploration of Chinatown’s narrow maze of energetic streets, sights and sounds provides visitors with a sensory overload. Our discovery will reveal colourful Peranakan shop houses, abundant hawker food stalls and ornate religious shrines. Though it lies on the fringe of Singapore’s central business district, Chinatown is trapped in time, with historic heritage buildings, lantern-lit streets and the sound of traders shouting out in Cantonese and Mandarin dialects. The area contains many shrines built by early settlers to honour the deities for their safe passage to a new country. The Chinatown Heritage Centre gives an insight into the lives of these immigrants through interactive stories provided by guides dressed in period costume. Our excursion starts from Telok Ayer MRT Station with a walk to the oldest spiritual site on the island; Thian Hock Keng Temple. After viewing traditional shop houses, we proceed to a suspended garden on a sky-bridge located on the 50th floor of the Pinnacle@Duxton residential development. The expansive panorama from this elevated position gives an insight into the development of the island. We then take a tea break in an authentic shop house, followed by a tour of the Chinatown Heritage Centre.
