The Red Oil Lamp: Chinatown Stories Alive!

A magical night Theatrical Tour that will take you on a fascinating journey of history, discovery and reflection.

As the sun sets and the flame of the oil lamp gently flickers, the back alleys of Chinatown come alive. The memories of our yesteryears are brought to life through the forgotten stories of Singapore’s early immigrants in the mid 1900s.

In Let’s Go Tour’s first-ever multi-character Theatrical Tour, our tour guides transform into a Street Hawker, a Clog Maker, a Majie (domestic helper), a Coolie, a Tailor and a Songstress.

Through role-play and vivid storytelling by our expert local guides, you will travel back in time and hear the life stories of the early Chinese settlers. Relive the joys and pain of our forefathers, and be inspired by their tenacity!

Come with us and follow the Red Oil Lamp! This introspective Theatrical Tour will take you on a fascinating journey of history, discovery and reflection..
