    Two hours of exploration, full of stories and culture with James as our tour guide. We saw and explored the traditional and new development of Chinatown, such as Chinese and Indian temples, mosque, chamber suite, Ann Siang Hill Park, Telok Ayer Green, Thian Hock Keng, Jinrikisha Station and Chinese Methodist Church..... We have a very enriching experience at the Harmony in Diversity Gallery and Singapore City Gallery. We strongly recommend James Chan to guide and tell you historical & fascinating stories of Chinatown Singapore. Must try to enjoy the nice foods at Maxwell & Amoy Street Food Centre.
