sago lane chinatown  singapore 270x300 Secrets of the Red Lantern   Chinatown Night WalkIn 1887, the brothels in Chinatown were as many and as close together as the teeth of a comb. Combine that with the proliferation of opium and gambling dens, it was sin city. It is no accident that Chinatown was also known as Bu Ye Tian – The Place of Nightless Days. Discover vice and tragedy in the shadows of Chinatown by night. We will venture into the fringes where entertainment, in its rawest form, is still practiced today.

DATE & TIME: Now till Dec 31, 2012. Every Friday. 6.30pm – 8.30 pm.

VENUE: Around Chinatown (Meet at Chinatown MRT Station, Exit A )
