Hello! Singapore Top Pick | Chinatown Heritage Centre
DESTINATION GUIDE TO THE BEST SINGAPORE MUSEUMS
Chinatown Heritage Centre is where visitors can trace the footsteps of Singapore’s early pioneers and discover the personal stories of people who made Chinatown their home. Housed in three adjacent restored shophouses along Pagoda Street, the Chinatown Heritage Centre is a museum that offers insights into the lives of early migrants from China, who left their villages and travelled to Singapore in hopes of a better life.
Visitors can step into the shoes of these pioneers who settled in the Chinatown district and experience how they lived by exploring the authentic recreations of the cramped ‘eight by eight’ living quarters and a tailor shop that once existed in the area. Guided tours are conducted three times a day.
