Hi and Welcome to Chinatown Heritage Centre in Pagoda Street, Singapore.
It is located right in the middle of Chinatown and is a very interesting place to visit.
They are open 9 AM to 8 PM all days and the entrance fee is 8 bucks.
The first floor is just for buying tickets and souvenirs.
You can buy old Chinese card games and mementos here.
The 2nd floor is where the fun begins.
It is filled with photographs of Chinatown from the very beginning.
The pictures are arranged Chronologically, so you can see how Chinatown was formed and
developed over time.
I have posted the history of Chinatown in an other video, you might wanna look at that.
Here you can see the old pieces of "thank you notes" from Chinese immigrants who just
landed in Singapore.
They placed these notes in Temples.
Here you can see items that the immigrants brought with them.
Wooden boxes, mirror, scissors lamps, etc.
This is an old gambling table.
Singapore was very big on gambling before getting its independence.
This is a collection of Chinese family names.
If you flip these, you can see the origin and meaning of these names.
The next floor has more recent items.
This floor also has artefacts, props
and recreations . You can see a Chinese restaurant table.
You can also some videos of Old Singapore.
I think chinatown Heritage Centre is a great place to visit whether you are
a tourist or a local.
So, don't miss it if you are visiting or living in Singapore.
I hope you like this video and subscribe to my channel.
Talk to you later, Bye.
