🚶‍♀️ Step Into Singapore’s Wartime Past

Discover a side of Singapore few have seen — a journey through Bukit Timah’s rich wartime history, forgotten landmarks, and hidden trails. This immersive 3-hour guided walk takes you through some of the most historically significant sites that shaped our nation’s resilience and identity.


🗺 What You’ll Explore

🚂 Former Bukit Timah Railway Station
Opened in 1903 as part of the Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) line, this station once linked Singapore to Malaysia. Step onto the preserved railway tracks and imagine the sounds of steam engines that once echoed through this green corridor.


⛩ Syonan Chureito Memorial
Built in 1942 by the Japanese to commemorate their war dead, this site holds stories of faith, loss, and remembrance during the Japanese Occupation. A reflective stop that offers both historical insight and quiet contemplation.


🏛 Former Ford Factory
The site of one of Singapore’s most pivotal moments — the British surrender to Japanese forces on 15 February 1942. Walk through the galleries and exhibits that tell the story of occupation, resilience, and recovery.
