Description:

Witness the somber remnants of World War II, which visually demonstrate Singapore's role in the war. Visit the solemn Kranji War Memorial and traditional Bright Hill Temple. Then, enjoy a local lunch before continuing to the symbolic Changi Chapel and Museum and the Gardens by the Bay.

Start your journey from the entrance of your hotel and head north to the Kranji War Memorial. Pay your respects to more than 20,000 World War II heroes who gave their lives for freedom.

Next, visit Bright Hill Temple, a famous Chinese ancestral place of worship, and admire its spectacular architecture and surrounding scenery. Take a break for lunch at a local restaurant before proceeding to Changi Chapel and Museum.

Gain in-depth insight into the lives and memories of both POWs and civilian internees who survived the Japanese Occupation. The Changi Chapel is a symbolic replica of the original chapel found in the Changi Prison.

Drive past the Johore Battery and view a replicated 15-inch “Monster Gun,” the largest to be installed outside Britain during World War II. End the tour at one of the must-sees of Singapore, the Gardens by the Bay, before you are dropped off back at your hotel doorstep.
