** THE HISTORIC PIPELINE TRAIL (PART 1) - FROM CHINATOWN > QUEENSTOWN! **
Details
Come join us this Good Friday Holiday for this 3 part series (Part 1) hike as we take you on a walk down memory lane tracing the history of the symbolic and significant pipeline from Malaysia to Singapore that has oftentimes been the talk and sometimes 'hot topic' between our two countries.
This historic 90-year-old Central Pipeline Reserve running from Gunung Pulai in Johor to the Old Woodlands Causeway to Chinatown was used to convey water all the way to Pearl Hill Reservoir serving our metropolis city centre.
To make this hike interesting and come alive, we'll be showing you many historic buildings, pre-war shophouses, old towns, black & white colonial houses and heritage places alongside this pipeline trail. (See Photos below)
We'll be tracing this pipeline in 3 parts to enjoy the history, heritage and scenic places from our bustling city centre ie. from South to North all the way to the Woodlands Causeway.
Part 1 of this historic pipeline trail will start from our colorful Chinatown Heritage Centre to Queenstown where I'll be showing you the food, sights & sounds of this vibrant areas including the beautiful street art & murals along the way depicting the life and times of life in Singapore during those good old days.
As we slowly follow the trail, we'll also show you the historic site of the majestic Pearl Hill 'fortress' unknown to many though as well as the symbolic place where our well known forefather figure of Mr Tan Tock Seng was laid to rest.
We will also walk down the historic Singapore River for some beautiful Instagram photos with it's many beautiful bridges where I will also share with you a little about their significance and history.
And of course, I'll also be bringing you to the picturesque arch pipeline that everyone is talking about as shown on the photo above as well as those pipelines that are still visible.
Do note that this is my own specially tailored trail for Part 1, pretty scenic with rivers, flowers, hidden bunkers, canals, scenic lookouts etc. adding a little history and heritage here & there based on my knowledge and memory having walked these old places some 40 - 50 years ago to add color to our hike unlike the original pipeline trail.
Also please note that this Part 1 Pipeline Trail is best done in the evening for that beautiful sunset glow on your photos as well as to enjoy the cool evening breeze and the breathtaking view of the Southern Islands at the end of this Part 1 hike.
So if you're ready to find out more about our water history and and the sights & sounds of the beautiful heritage places along the route, you'll need to RSVP now.
*This hike will be led by our Organizer with more than 45 years experience walking through these heritage sites and old places.
