Touted as one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods by Vogue, called “Singapore’s hippest hood” by CNN, and known by locals as one of the most happening areas on the island, everyone loves Tiong Bahru’s old-world charm.

Visiting this quaint neighbourhood, you immediately notice an intriguing mix of old and new. The transformation from swamp to swank began in the 1930s, and some of the landmarks from that era still stand today, including the residential blocks and the first Monkey God Temple dedicated to the main character from the Chinese literary classic "Journey to the West".

Our Tiong Bahru walking tour takes us around one of Singapore’s oldest public residential estates to explore pre-war and post-war architecture and learn about the history and stories associated with this charming and picturesque neighbourhood with its rows of quaint art deco buildings. Discover Tiong Bahru’s rich stories of prominent pioneer community leaders and residents who were born in the air raid shelter during World War II. And, learn about the religion, customs, culture and food unique to the area and to Singapore.
