You would be introduced to Singapore's oldest Chinese temple; Thian Hock Keng Temple. At this site, listen to the stories of the dangers and struggles that the early immigrants from China had to go through in making the journey to Singapore - to escape the hardships in China & in seeking better lives for themselves. And how it has led to the creation of this temple.

Admire the architecture and design of this temple. Learn more about the temple and the role that it plays within the community.

I would take you on a short walk through the back alleys of Telok Ayer, to head over to our next stop.

Our first stop would be at Pagoda Street. Welcome to the main heart of Chinatown Singapore. Here, you would be greeted by Singapore's oldest hindu temple; Sri Mariamman Temple. The temple was built for the immigrants from India during those early years of Singapore being under the British colony.

Next, take a walk along the street to take in the sights of the shophouses that have been purposefully preserved. Experience how walking through here, provides a different feel from walking the other parts of the city that are surrounded by high-rise apartment buildings. Observe how the uses of the shophouses have evolved to make it more relevant to the current times.

You would learn about some of the previous uses of some of the shophouses or streets in the area; from having an old Chinese Theater to learning about some 'underground illicit activities' that used to take place at one of the streets, and learning about which of the streets used to feature 'Death Houses'.

We would end off the walking segment of the tour at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. Take in the majesty of the temple's architecture standing outside the temple. This is truly an IG worthy shot to take to document your trip to Chinatown Singapore!

Next, learn about how a typical public housing neighborhood in Singapore is like. From seeing the public housing that about 90% of Singaporeans live in; to the amenities that have been provided for the convenience of the residents of the neighbourhood.

We would end off our tour with a tasting of one serving of a tropical fruit of your choice. The options can range from mangosteen, to mangos and bananas amongst others. If you are feeling adventurous and they are in season, you may even get a taste of the KING of fruits: DURIAN!

Wash down your meal with one serving of a drink of your choice from the stall as well. Nothing better than enjoying a round of tropical fruits amidst Singapore's hot and humid weather.
