Chinatown Heritage Centre
Chinatown Heritage Centre Review
These three painstakingly restored shophouses showcase Chinatown's rich heritage and serve as a repository for the area's memories, sights, and sounds. The shophouse at No. 48 is the center's highlight, with replicas of an early settler's living quarters and tailor shop. Additionally, there are 15 exhibition galleries devoted to the trials and tribulations of Chinese immigrants and Chinatown's evolution, as told through the stories of past and current residents.
