Discover the hidden history behind Singapore’s most vibrant shopping district. Orchard Road may seem like a modern stretch of glitzy buildings and bustling nightlife, but beneath its glossy exterior lies a story waiting to be told.

Join Uncle Chris on a journey through time, as he uncovers the heritage of Orchard Road, once a quiet agricultural area filled with fruit orchards – hence its name. While much of the original landscape has transformed, remnants of its past still linger if you know where to look.

This 3-hour tour goes beyond the typical two-hour overview, offering an in-depth exploration of both the high life and the forgotten history of Orchard Road. Uncle Chris will show you landmarks that hold memories of a bygone era, including the arrival of CK Tang in 1958, when the now-iconic Ngee Ann City was nothing more than a Teochew cemetery at the foot of a hill.

Meet us on Sun, 6th Oct 2024, at 9am, outside the lobby of Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, 1 Tanglin Road, Singapore 247905. The nearest MRT station is Orchard. The tour will conclude at the junction of Orchard and Killiney Roads, next to Orchard Central.

Step behind the façade of this shopping haven, and uncover the stories that shaped its transformation from plantations to paradise.
