Fort Canning Legends Tours
Walk as the people in Singapore once did, taking in the sights, sounds and smells.
Journey Through 700 Years of Singapore History
Temasek, a small insignificant island in the southernmost point of the Malaysia Peninsula, was a little seashore village making a living out of fishing and trading. This island was an important stopover point for seafarers en route from China to India and beyond. The first Chinese voyager set foot in South east Asia even before the birth of Christ and thereafter the Nanyang Silk Route was established.
Although the history of Singapore goes back centuries, our known history was only from 700 years ago when the kingdom of Singapura was established.
From the Kingdom of Singapura to modern day Singapore, this tour commemorates the history of Singapore and the significant milestones that have led to today.
Walk through the Forbidden Hill, and immerse yourself with the 700 years history of Singapore.
From Singapura to the Present
We will bring you through time from the establishment of Singapura to the first five kings of the 13th century, thereafter turning the page of history to the British colonial era in the 19th century, the years of suffering and conflict during World War II, and eventually to the independence of Singapore in the 20th century.
The Fort Canning park has been remade to show off our 700 years history so come join us and uncover the history of Singapore!
