The Chinatown Heritage Centre is a great insight into Singapore Chinatown's history. We have visited before, but this time wanted to share it with a friend. You can easily spend a couple of hours exploring the exhibits, reading about the history, and watching some of the video stories of those sharing their history in Chinatown. The Centre was closed for renovations last time we visited Singapore, we're hopeful it reopens soon so we can go back and learn more in what will likely be a revamped display.

It's been too long since I forgot to write a review, and now I find out that the review still has points that can be used to offset consumption. It's great!

A very informative and interesting tour where we could get some insights on the lives of Chinatown’s earliest residents.
