This isn't just a heritage walk, it is an in-depth exploration of how Chinatown transformed over the years.

Experience the raw architectural contrast of the area, comparing the spiritual grandeur of Tang-style temples with the sophisticated Art Deco shophouses of Keong Saik Road.

Kampong Glam wears its contradictions openly. Prayer calls echo from Sultan Mosque while tattoo artists work in shophouses nearby, and century-old restaurants share streets with pop-up photo-booths. On this walking tour, you’ll find out how a neighborhood that began as a gathering place for Singapore-based Indonesian pilgrims planning their Hajj journey became Singapore’s creative quarter. It’s also where pioneering street artists and independent businesses built a community that’s now threatened by its own success. The tour starts at Sultan Mosque, which is the last remaining mosque where the call to prayer still sounds across the streets. You’ll walk past restaurants that’ve been operating since the 1900s, and explore alleys transformed by artists like Zero when rents were still affordable and regulation minimal. As you walk along streets lined with commissioned murals and independent boutiques, you’ll hear from the artists and entrepreneurs navigating dramatic change.

Many people have always associated Mt Faber with the Cable Car station, not knowing there is more to discover in this area including its steep history stretching back more than 200 years ago. From the trailhead, a quick climb via Marang Trail to the highest point along the Southern Ridges yields panoramic views of Singapore’s beautiful harbour and the southern islands on one side and on another side. Next, we continue hiking along the Southern Ridges to discover interesting native flora and built heritage, and enjoy refreshing views atop the highest pedestrian bridge and one of the most beautiful bridges in Singapore – Henderson Waves. We will also visit one of the last remaining mangrove wetlands in the south, nestled in one of Singapore’s four nature reserves – Labrador Nature Reserve. Amidst the myriad coastal flora and fauna, climb another ‘forgotten’ hill and immediately be immersed in the history of a 140+ year-old military fort, built to protect Singapore Harbour.
