1.Perl’s Hill City Park
Behind the hustle and bustle of Chinatown district is a nine-hectare greenery belt. To reach the tranquil oasis of the reservoir, visitors need to climb numerous stairs. This place supplies drinking water to Chinatown since 1898. On the way downstairs toward Eu Tong Sen Street, one can explore relics of colonial times including a cannon sitting alongside a five-story blue building or a Neo-Classical-style conservation building pair from the 1930s.

2.The Live Turtle & Tortoise Museum
It’s uncommon and astonishing to find a whole museum related to turtles and tortoises. This ancient museum in Singapore is the home for over 200 turtles and tortoises which are from 60 varied species. Be it the majestic Radiated Tortoise or the rare Golden Temple Turtle, the most exotic varieties live and breed here.
