Chinatown to Boat Quay

From the first station to the final station; travel to and from your hotel is excluded.

Walk from heritage shophouses to the river for two sides of the city.

This route connects Chinatown streets, Boat Quay.

Chinatown streets

Explore Pagoda Street, Temple Street and surrounding shophouses; meals are budgeted separately.

Station code: NE4

Along Pagoda Street and Temple Street, look above the shops at upper floors, sheltered walkways and signs. Exploring one short stretch carefully can reveal more than checking off every storefront.

A neighbourhood walk does not guarantee access to religious buildings. Respect ceremonies and restrictions, ask before photographing people, and budget meal queues and breaks separately.

Suggested visit allowance: 80–100 minutes

Official visitor and transport information — Chinatown streets

Boat Quay

Enjoy riverside shophouses and the financial district skyline, with meals budgeted separately.

Station code: NS26

Notice the contrast between riverside shophouses and the financial skyline behind them. Walk a short stretch, then look back to see how the same buildings change with your viewpoint.

Decide separately whether this is a walk or a meal stop. Waterfront dining needs extra waiting and ordering time; if sightseeing only, keep the walkway clear and keep moving between viewpoints.

Suggested visit allowance: 40–55 minutes
