Description:

Delve into the fringes of entertainment in historical Singapore. Discover vice and tragedy in the shadows of Chinatown by night as you venture into the Red Light District for a look at brothels, gambling dens, and a shadier side of Chinese history.

Leave behind the bright lights of downtown and explore the stories in the shadows of Chinatown at night. Head down back alleys for a behind-the-scenes look at the darker side of the city. In the late 19th century, the brothels in Chinatown were nearly as close together as the teeth of a comb. Thanks to the proliferation of opium and gambling dens it became somewhat of a sin city.

The scene at Food Street remains thoroughly mesmerizing, as it's just as it was in its heyday. Here, take the opportunity to sample some of the finest local delicacies and sweets. Then get an exclusive peek at the once notorious Red Light District and take a stroll along Sago Lane, the Street of the Dead, which was once filled with Chinese death houses and funeral parlors. Finally, explore select streets for a glimpse of the nightlife in Singapore's East End.
