Step into the hidden layers of Fort Canning Hill, a place steeped in history, mystery, and untold stories. While many know it as the “Forbidden Hill,” few have explored its lesser-known tales. This isn’t just another tour about kings and conquerors – we’re diving deeper.
On this walk, we’ll uncover the everyday lives of ordinary people who shaped this iconic hill. From the forgotten cemetery that once graced its slopes to the young explorers who rest here, Fort Canning holds secrets that go beyond its manicured beauty. Did you know this hill was once part of Raffles’ sprawling botanic gardens, stretching all the way to what is now Funan?
We’ll explore myths and truths, like the story of Chow Ah Chi, the carpenter-turned-scout who allegedly received a residence from Sir Stamford Raffles. Was it fact or fiction? Join us to debate and discover.
This isn’t just a nature walk or a war history tour – it’s an all-encompassing journey through time. We’ll touch on the high and mighty, but also shine a light on the unsung heroes and everyday folk who walked these paths before us.
Meeting Point: Dhoby Ghaut MRT, Exit B (street level)
End Point: Funan (yes, the vibrant hub we know today!)
Spaces are limited, so book your spot now for a morning of discovery, stories, and fresh perspectives. Let’s uncover the soul of Fort Canning together.
See you on 9th March 2025 – don’t miss it!
