Heart of Chinatown: #1 Self-Guided Audio Tour | WanderSG

Hey everyone,

As one of our earliest supporters, we want you to be the very first to know about a passion project we've working on. It's called WanderSG, and our first experience is now live.

If you're anything like us, you love to travel. Whenever we’re in a new city, we always sign up for a free walking tour. It's the best way to hear incredible stories from a local guide.

But we also value the freedom to wander and allow for serendipity - exploring at our own pace, stopping for a coffee whenever we feel like it, and not being stuck in a big group. That’s why we also enjoy self-guided audio tours.

In our recent trip to Helsinki, we visited Suomenlinna and missed the organized tour timing. Thankfully, we found out that we could buy an audio tour on our phones to help learn about the history of this UNESCO site at our own pace. We had a lot of fun just wandering around the island, and it inspired us to replicate the experience.

What if we could create audio guides for an area full of hidden stories in plain sight that people can explore on their own schedule? That's the idea behind WanderSG.

And today, we’re excited to share our very first DIY tour at one of Singapore’s most vibrant and colourful neighbourhoods:

❤️ Heart of Chinatown Audio Tour

It's a 2-hour self-guided walking adventure that runs entirely on Telegram (@WanderSG_bot). It guides you from stop to stop, sharing the lesser-known stories, hidden details, and fascinating history that bring Singapore’s Chinatown to life. We hope that visitors truly feels like a local friend is right there with you, pointing out all the cool stuff.

This audio tour will cover many notable multi-cultural sights and landmarks, each with its own hidden story:

🏛️ Marvel at the Sri Mariamman Temple & Masjid Jamae standing side-by-side in historic harmony.

🎨 Step into the Chinatown past with life-sized murals.

🌶️ Dive into the sensory world of Chinatown Complex, home to a bustling market and SG UNESCO hawker culture.

🤫 Uncover the artefacts in the magnificent Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

🏙️ Connect it all at the Singapore City Gallery with its stunning city-wide architectural model.

✨ ...and many more secrets along the way!
