A Journey Through Time & Flavours

More than a year in the making, the Lau Pa Sat Heritage Trail invites visitors on a fascinating journey back in time. Discover the iconic hawker market’s humble beginnings as a seaside wet market through immersive AR and VR experiences.

Step into the past and witness historic scenes, from the now-demolished Telok Ayer Police Station in its prime, to the old coastline along Raffles Quay, and the vibrant hustle of fishermen and roadside hawkers.
