1. Aerial Overview of Little India

Address
Blk 668 Chander Road, Singapore 210668                                                                                                                           

 

Before starting your grand trek around Little India, the best place to check out a beautiful aerial view of the area is the top floor of the public housing flats at 668 Chander Road.

Resting on the west edge of Little India, these high-rise flats provide a stunning overview of old shophouses as well as a glimpse of the Central Business District on the horizon.

2. “50 Bridges” Wall Art at Tekka Centre

Address
Tekka Centre, 665 Buffalo Road, Singapore 210665                                                                                                
   

 

Everyone knows Tekka Centre for its hustle, bustle, and hearty local food. However, not many are aware that the messy loading area behind Tekka Market houses surprisingly beautiful wall art by different artists, which brings an otherwise quiet corner to life.

“50 Bridges” was part of an SG50 collaboration project between Australia and Singapore. As part of the project, 50 murals were painted on walls across the Singaporean heartlands.

4. Heritage Shophouses Along Jalan Besar

Address
 Jalan Besar, Singapore                                                                                                                                                     

 

One of the best places for Instagrammable photos is along Jalan Besar, a one-way street lined with old houses on both sides. The beauty of this stretch, in contrast to narrow side streets, is that you can get unobstructed, frontal views of shop facades.

Position your travel partner across from you on Jalan Besar, and seize a traffic-free moment to snap a photo with a nostalgic shophouse backdrop. Soon you’ll both have a series of memorable portraits which capture vintage Singapore.
