Night Out In Chinatown with Dinner
(Tour Code SHTS)
Discover the rich historical beginnings of Chinatown at the
Chinatown Heritage Centre. Housed in three restored shophouses,
the Centre takes you back to a different time in the history
of the area and immerses you in the life of the early Chinese
immigrants. Experience first-hand living in dark, cramped
quarters of a typical Chinatown shophouse.
Today's Chinatown is as exuberant as it
was in the past and the evenings come alive with the hustle
and bustle of the Night Market. After dinner, wander along
the narrow lanes and test your bargaining skills with the
street vendors selling everything from fashion items and leather
goods to souvenirs. Then, hop onto a trishaw, the "chauffeured"
limousine of the era, for a ride through Chinatown to Clark
Quay. There you'll board one of many bumboats, traditional
cargo-ferrying crafts, for a cruise along the Singapore River.
Admire the sight of beautifully restored godowns, contrasting
with modern skyscrapers of the financial district, colonial
buildings and the iconic Merlion statue. Finally, disembark
at the Esplanade - Theatres by the Bay where your wonderful
evening comes to an end.
