Exploring Singapore’s History, Culture, and Power Spots



① Peranakan Architecture in the Katong District (Joo Chiat Road)
Joo Chiat Road, lined with pastel-colored shop houses that look like something out of a fairy tale, is an area rich in Peranakan culture.

You’ll be captivated by the unique designs of each house, featuring vibrant tiles, decorative windows, and wooden doors.
Not overly commercialized, this area offers a glimpse into the daily lives of locals. With cafes and local eateries scattered around, it’s the perfect spot for a photo walk combined with light snacks.

② Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City
Located at the center of Suntec City Mall, the Fountain of Wealth is famous as one of the world’s largest fountains based on Feng Shui principles.

It is said that walking three times clockwise around the central circular fountain will bring wealth and good fortune, making it a popular power spot for both tourists and locals.

At night, the fountain is illuminated with a light and music show, offering a different atmosphere from daytime.

③ St Andrew’s Cathedral
The striking white exterior of St Andrew’s Cathedral makes it Singapore’s oldest Anglican church.

Its beautiful Gothic architecture from the British colonial era creates a peaceful atmosphere right in the city center.
Inside, the high ceilings and stained glass windows are majestic, providing a moment of calm and healing.

The surrounding area is a grassy plaza where you can often see businesspeople enjoying their lunch.
