 Unearth the secrets beneath Chinatown with your funt local guide as he takes you on a 2-hour walk through the ethnic precinct.

 

Walk along the narrow streets between traditional shophouses and you can be sure that you’re tracing the footsteps of migrants from an era long gone. Let your guide tell you stories of these migrants and their hardships as coolies, laborers who lived in cramped spaces and worked long hours.

 

Along the way, discover the traditional trades of woodwork, Chinese medical halls, tea houses, calligraphy galleries, and bakeries that still survive to this day. Immerse yourself in the many streets with fascinating names, and allow your guide to share their origins with you.

 

Soon you’ll find yourself in a local wet market, where you’ll see vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables as well as various sauces and livestock. On the upper floors sits a cooked food center, where you can tantalize your taste buds by trying some local biscuits.

 

Lastly, visit the Sri Mariamman Temple and Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a testament to the multi-cultural and multi-religious society of Singapore. Bid goodbye to your guide and walking mates here, and perhaps have a local lunch in this beautiful ethnic precinct.
