Had fun reading the write ups! Truly appreciated the story telling and experience.
5A Step Back into Chinatown’s Past
Finally visited the Chinatown Heritage Centre after passing by so many times. Quite an interesting place. The old rooms and stories give you a better idea of how tough life was for the early Chinese immigrants in Singapore. It is not a big place, but the exhibits are detailed and easy to follow. Good for a slow walk around Chinatown, especially if you have never been before.
5Impromptu but meaningful visit
It was an impromptu visit but definitely a good one to discover so much more about the history and heritage of Singapore. A meaningful use of Culture Pass for Singaporeans.

About Singapore
Singapore is a gleaming island city-state where futuristic gardens, colonial landmarks and multicultural neighbourhoods meet outstanding hawker food.
Marina Bay is the showpiece, with the three towers and rooftop deck of Marina Bay Sands, the Merlion statue spouting water into the bay, and the supertrees and glass domes of Gardens by the Bay, which glow in light shows after dark. The colonial core nearby holds the National Gallery, the Asian Civilisations Museum and the white facade of the Raffles Hotel.
