Activity itinerary

Chijmes

  • 10m
Begin at this stunning former convent, a masterpiece of French Gothic architecture. We explore the “spiritual sanctuary” amidst the city’s hustle, discussing how its tranquil courtyards were designed to harness peaceful energy long before it became a vibrant lifestyle destination.

Armenian Church

  • 10m
Visit the oldest Christian church in Singapore. This Armenian Apostolic gem is a lesson in perfect symmetry and tropical neoclassical design, standing as a testament to the influential minority communities that helped build our nation’s early prosperity.

Elgin Bridge

  • 15m
Standing at the first permanent bridge across the Singapore River, we examine the symbolic link between the “Chinese” south bank and the “Colonial” north bank. Learn about the bridge’s role in the “Belly of the Carp” trade route.

Asian Civilisations Museum

  • 15m
Set in a grand neoclassical building that once housed colonial government offices, we touch upon the maritime heritage of the region. This stop highlights Singapore’s role as the “Confluence of Cultures” that defines our unique identity.

Cavenagh Bridge

  • 10m
Walk across the oldest bridge in Singapore still in its original form. We discuss the intricate ironwork manufactured in Scotland and the famous “police notice” that still warns against bringing cattle or horses across this historic span.

Victoria Theatre & Victoria Concert Hall

  • 15m
Admire the iconic Clock Tower. We delve into the building’s dual role as a town hall and a memorial, exploring how its grand, balanced proportions were intended to reflect the stability and permanence of the British Empire.

National Gallery Singapore

  • 15m
Explore the former City Hall and Supreme Court. This stop is crucial for our Feng Shui narrative; we examine the “defensive” architectural features, such as the Corinthian columns and the dome, designed to project power and maintain order.

St Andrew's Cathedral

  • 10m
We conclude at this gleaming white spire, built with “Madras Chunam” (a mix of shell lime, egg whites, and sugar). We discuss the cathedral’s resilience through history and its role as the spiritual anchor of the Civic District.
