About this Place Of Interest

Chinatown Heritage Centre, located right in the heart of Singapore’s bustling Chinatown, captures the memories of the early residents who worked and lived in the area in the 1950’s. This centre is unique as it has recreated the small “eight by eight” living quarters that were common at the time, allowing visitors today the chance to literally step back into the past.
