Singapore's Chinatown Free Tour: Secrets of the Back Alleys
Overview
Our journey continues to Maxwell Food Centre, where you can grab a local snack or drink while experiencing Singapore's UNESCO-recognised hawker culture.
From there, we make our way to Ann Siang Hill, a charming heritage district lined with restored shophouses and home to one of Singapore's last surviving wells.
Finally, we venture into Telok Ayer, where many of Singapore's early Chinese immigrants first settled. Visit Thian Hock Keng, one of Singapore's oldest Taoist temples, before exploring the Fuk Tak Chi Museum at the entrance of the Amoy Hotel. Together, these landmarks offer a glimpse into the faith, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped Singapore's Chinese community.
