This year’s HeritageFest ended just last week, and Hui Yan blogs about the finale celebrations at Novena Square and Veolocity.

I did not expect that Novena Square was chosen as the finale of Singapore Heritage Fest but I know this place is quite near Balestier area ( yes it is very near by walking distance and has rich history as Sun Yat Sen went to Wan Qing Yuan at Balestier area) and Jalan Besar area (Yes, I am very sure as I even walked from Novena to City Square Mall by foot a few times and City Square Mall used to be part of the New World).

…

Do appreciate our rich heritage as it is unique and irreplaceable.

After viewing these exhibitions, I do not think that Singapore is a boring place but Singapore is quite a fun place to explore. Don’t you think so?

It also made me reflect to appreciate the beauty of the buildings which reflects the rich culture of Singapore’s past history. Such as areas in Joo Chiat (rich Peranakan culture), parts of River Valley area, Chinatown (chinese buildings), Little India, Kampong Glam and so on.

If you haven’t seen it, Singapore’s old monuments such as the old C. K. Tang building and the National Theatre came to life through dioramas. Check out the sights from the Singapore HeritageFest finale in Hui Yan’s picture-filled post here.
