Uncover the Gems of Chinatown Singapore
Singapore, Singapore
Trip Type: Cultural Tours
Duration: 3 hours
The Chinatown heritage area is a favourite among our visitors.
Dating back to the early 1820s, this is where the early Chinese immigrants set up their businesses, homes, places of worship and clan associations. The Chinatown of today is a lively mix of the old and new - traditional businesses and markets sit side-by-side with modern cafes and shops.
While Chinatown remains a vibrant showcase of Singapore Chinese culture, one of its most unique features is its multiculturalism – it is here that you will find a Taoist temple, a Hindu temple, 2 mosques, a Buddhist temple and a Methodist church all within walking distance of each other.
