Overview
Learn about architecture, history & society through the colourful back alleys of Jalan Besar! Join us for a unique tour of Jalan Besar and discover the vibrant character of this precinct literally named “Big Road” in Malay. This area is a treasure trove of hidden gems for those interested in architecture, history, and society. The shophouses that line these narrow streets are a prime example of early 20th century architecture, with their distinct terracotta tiled roofs and ornate facades. Many of these buildings have been beautifully restored and repurposed, with some now serving as trendy cafes and boutique shops. The back alleys also offer a glimpse into the rich cultural and social history of the area, with many of the buildings having served as homes, businesses, and community spaces for the diverse communities that have lived and worked in Jalan Besar over the years. Learn about the lifestyles of the people living in the area, including famous personalities associated with the various streets, and observe the many wall murals that characterise the neighbourhood. Hear the stories of soccer stars, cabaret girls, coolies, clan associations, murderers and more! Find out during this 2h walking tour & pick up some great foodie tips as well!
