Chinatown Heritage Centre
Relive a past era when Chinese immigrants risked their lives crossing the South China Sea for a better tomorrow in Singapore. Inside these three authentically restored shophouses in the heart of Chinatown, you can immerse yourself in the life as a Chinese coolie and empathise with the toil and tribulations of a bygone way of life. Thereafter, have coffee at a traditional coffee shop and bring home souvenirs.

Highlights
Highlights:


Spread over three storeys, 15 exhibition galleries showcase Chinatown’s diverse history and rich cultural heritage.

A re-creation of dark, musty and cramped living conditions that former residents had to endure.

One of the most authentic experiential zones for Chinese culture.
