Spend a little ticket money to understand the hard life of the Chinese when they went to Nanyang, it is also a good choice. Everyone is crowded in a very small space. If someone is sick and coughs next door, then the residents of the whole building can't sleep. It feels really like returning to the past.

    Chinatown is Singapore's Chinese street, and it is also a place where Singapore tourism will go to check in. Chinatown is very lively. The various snacks are very rich and varied. It is worth visiting, take a look, try snacks, buy crafts, etc. There is also a Chinatown original appearance hall. You can learn more about the history and culture of this region and explore the life of Singapore's earliest Chinese immigrants. The night market is a bit like a Chinese temple fair.

    Chinatown is the earliest place where Chinese people arrived in Singapore. It used to be the place where Chinese people lived, but now it has become a sightseeing area. Chinatown’s original appearance museum shows us the past of Chinatown very well, it is worth visiting.

    There is a "red headscarf" figure sculpture at the entrance of Chinatown Original View Hall, as well as a pair of huge rafts, which tell tourists very vividly that the ancestors from Lingnan, China, are introduced here. Enter the room and buy tickets for SGD 15/person at the desk in cash. The tickets include the use of a guide, so in the Chinese explanation, stroll around this three-story building that does not cover a large area. First visit is the scene of the tailor's house on the first floor, in addition to the tailor shop and clothing store, there is also the tailor's living place. In this regard, I really admire the carefulness of Singaporeans. All the scenes are arranged according to the original layout of the year, so the immersion is a bit of a historical crossing. The ruler, brush, cloth, scissors, and even the notebook on the operating table, all seemed to be in use, but the calendar on the wall told people that it was more than half a century ago. Although there are not many tourists visiting the original museum, it is also endless, in addition to Chinese, there are tourists from Europe and the United States. For us, this is a aftertaste, and for them, it is a novelty. The most interesting thing is a preschooler, who also wears headphones with a guide, listening very carefully to the introduction and watching the real thing in the museum. Walking up the second floor, I saw that there were many people of different identities living in a very narrow house, which was a simpler and denser residence than the tube building. People living here, tricyclers, carpenters, mobile dealers and other people in the lower social strata, see such poor living conditions, one can imagine how low the Chinese in the lower Nanyang in the 19th century were in Singapore. We know the name "red headscarf" here, they are women working in docks, factories or construction sites. We also know the name "mother sister", they are from Shunde, Guangdong to the rich family as helpers "comb their heads and do not marry women." There was also a doctor's room on this floor, and as an intellectual his family's standard of living was distinctly different from that of the working masses. But the list of outpatient charges on his doorstep also marked the words "poor people can be exempted", and the traditional Chinese help poor people also drifted to Singapore, a strange land. On the third floor of the original museum, there are many historical photos and cultural relics to show all aspects of Chinese life in Nanyang. These photos let us know more about the Chinese people living in Singapore. From the inheritance of these historical records and the continuation of traditional culture, we have seen a connotation of the Chinese nation. I didn't expect that the first day of the tour in remote Singapore, we had a traditional culture and patriotism education class. Returning to the first floor exit of the original appearance hall again, the wall here is a huge comparison of the old and new photos of Chinatown, and there are many enthusiastic participants in the protection of Chinatown's original appearance. Any historical inheritance is inseparable from people, and it is inseparable from people's vision.

    When I went there, the interior was not open in the decoration. I went around and there were many people... The shoes at the entrance of the Indian Temple were piled up on the road and the Buddha Tooth Temple was all kinds of magnificent! When I went out, I went to maxwell with Grandpa Lu Xue ~ to eat Hainan chicken rice every day. This queue was a bit scary...

    I love visiting the Chinatown Cultural Centre and highly recommend it to visitors to learn about the history and development of Singapore (through visiting the Centre). The exhibits are supported by independent multimedia equipment and street atmosphere, photos, videos, etc. Visitors will have a wonderful and memorable experience.,,
