Hidden secrets lie beneath this ethnic precinct where early migrants resided, and there is no better way to uncover these gems than to join our expert local guide in this 2-hour guided walking tour. Enjoy Chinatown like a local, for the Chinese – Singapore’s largest ethnic group – still shop, dine and celebrate festivities here.

What to Expect
Follow your guide as you navigate through narrow streets lined by conserved pre-war shophouses. Walk along the five-foot-ways to discover traditional trades such as Chinese medical halls, woodwork handicrafts, and tea houses that have stood the test of time. Explore the traditional wet market and sample some local biscuits. Visit the Sri Mariamman and Buddha Tooth Relic Temple located on the same street, a testament to Singapore’s multi-cultural and multi-religious society.
