    Bukit Pasoh Telok Ayer Kreta Ayer CHINATOWN A Walking Guide Travel through 14 amazing stops to experience the best of Chinatown in 6 hours. A quick introduction to the neighbourhoods Kreta Ayer Kreta Ayer means “water cart” in Malay. It refers to ox-drawn carts that brought water to the district in the 19th and 20th centuries. The water was drawn from wells at Ann Siang Hill. Back in those days, this area was known for its clusters of teahouses and opera theatres, and the infamous brothels, gambling houses and opium dens that lined the streets. Much of its sordid history has been cleaned up. However, remnants of its vibrant past are still present – especially during festive periods like the Lunar New Year and the Mid-Autumn celebrations. Telok Ayer Meaning “bay water” in Malay, Telok Ayer was at the shoreline where early immigrants disembarked from their long voyages. Designated a Chinese district by Stamford Raffles in 1822, this is the oldest neighbourhood in Chinatown. Covering Ann Siang and Club Street, this richly diverse area is packed with trendy bars and hipster cafés housed in beautifully conserved shophouses. Bukit Pasoh Located on a hill, Bukit Pasoh is lined with award-winning restaurants, boutique hotels, and conserved art deco shophouses. Once upon a time, earthen pots were produced here. Hence, its name – pasoh, which means pot in Malay. The most vibrant street in this area is Keong Saik Road – a former red-light district where gangs and vice once thrived. Today, it’s a hip enclave for stylish hotels, cool bars and great food.

  • Fact Sheet on the Rejuvenated Chinatown Heritage Centre
    Fact Sheet on the rejuvenated Chinatown Heritage Centre The Chinatown Heritage Centre, opened in 2002, is a key gateway for visitors to understand the Chinatown story, with its rich collection of personal stories and enriching programmes that provide an intimate and accurate portrayal of Chinatown, from its early days as a Chinese migrant settlement to today’s vibrant heritage precinct. As Chinatown evolves and travellers become increasingly discerning, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) embarked on a rejuvenation of the Centre in October 2014 to strengthen the Centre’s content and presentation style so as to better bring alive the precinct’s heritage. The key changes include a more comprehensive story narrative that goes beyond the 1960s, more in-depth collection of personal stories from the Chinatown community, deeper exploration of Chinatown’s multi-ethnicity, clan associations, nightlife and heritage businesses, and enhanced multi-sensory features in the form of soundscapes, multimedia content, interactive story panels, olfactory experience and mood lighting. A new space has also been set aside to hold temporary exhibitions and community events, thus establishing the Centre as a key platform for community engagement. A food and beverage and retail section will showcase iconic local culinary fare by renowned food establishment Old Chang Kee’s Curry Times and limited edition souvenirs by local designers such as Doe & Audrey and My Paper Earrings. Visitors can also look forward to an exciting line-up of immersive tours. The rejuvenation of the Centre is part of STB’s overall enhancement efforts for Chinatown, which includes the rejuvenation of Chinatown Food Street and launch of the free Wi-Fi service in Chinatown.
