Heritage Walk

Despite the rain that poured down the early morning, the spirit was high and everyone was enthusiastic about the tour. A group of about 15 – 18 people who include members, guests and Rotarians were present for the tour. The participants gathered at the UOB Plaza. We were briefed by our guest speaker Dr. Yeo Kang Shua who is from The Architectural Consultant, Monuments Inspectorate, and Preservation of Monuments Board.


Equipped with the latest camera model ranging from Cannon to Lumix, everyone took the opportunity to capture the beautiful and unique architecture of the different temples. Some of the different temples we visited were:-

1. Yueh Hai Ching Temple
2. Fuk Tak Chi Museum
3. Ying Fo Fui Kun
4. Thian Hock Keng Temple
5. Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church

We were mesmerized with how culture and lifestyle influenced the different design of these temples. It was indeed an “eye-opener” for me as this is the first time I entered these temples.

After a long walk, the participants settle down for lunch near the Telok Ayer Chinese Methodist Church. The tour receive a positive feedback and we are looking forward for more such tours.
