A very beautiful temple with an air of calmness about it. Decorated wonderfully and many people came in and out offering up prayers. No photographs allowed. A temple worth visiting.

Tanjong Pagar is full of vibrant murals on the side of buildings, and is well worth a walk through the area to explore all the murals. Simply beautiful.

This is the fourth time that I have chosen Jane’s SG Tours to introduce me to hidden gems of Singapore, mainly because they combine a wide-sweeping variety of points of interest, whilst dropping in tiny snippets of off the wall details. It was Pavla who guided us, so versatile and erudite, able to react to a chance remark and lead us to the very spot to enlarge upon it. Our party of four, gazing up at the living walls of the eco-friendly Oasia Hotel, were so impressed. “Would you like to go inside?” she asked, as if it had just occurred to her. She knew just what areas to touch on that sparked our enthusiasm. Reacting to a comment about peace and calm, Pavla made a swift detour to a shop that specialised in Tibetan singing bowls - a delight! The tour took in a visit to the temple dedicated to the City god and another that had a model house from a Ghost Wedding for a deceased couple, never having met but united in the afterworld by their bereaved families. Then a hawker market taster of curry puffs and a sweet coconut ball; a stroll through renovated, trendy shophouses, past the historic rickshaw terminus, a garden dedicated to the botanist who discovered Singapore’s National Orchid, on to the highlight - in every sense of the word - 50 floors up to the roof terrace of The Pinnacle for a Panoramic view of this surprisingly colourful area, deep in the heart of the CBD. We finalised at the absorbing URA Centre to view the vast models of the span of Singapore. Great morning!…

I have been coming to Singapore quite often for the last 5 years and have really grown to like Tanjong Pagar. First, my office is only a few blocks away. Second, my favorite hotel is also in the heart of it. What I also like about the place is it is a combination of old and new. There are many places of interest to visit; On one corner you hotels, shopping malls, then on the next street you have the Buddha Tooth Relic, Maxwell Food Centre - one of the most popular food court in SG. You continue to be immerse in culture - please walk thru Chinatown - a shopping and food delight. It has become so comfortable, I look forward to go back to Tanjong Pagar each time I am in Singapore!…

Walking along this stretch of heritage trail during the day is transformed by night into a plethora offering of food, fun, and life where one can find any type of cuisine or any form of music which caters to you or your group's idea of entertainment.
