Beyond the modern cafes and bustling train station lies Kovan's rich history as the old '6th Mile' enclave: a multi-religious neighbourhood shaped by rubber plantations, farming communities, and waves of immigrant faith.
Kovan is a testament to Singapore's unique multi-religious tapestry. The walk highlights iconic architectural gems representing different faiths, from early house churches to historic mosques and the oldest Taoist temple dedicated to the Nine Emperor Gods. Each sacred space tells a profound story of early immigrant communities finding their home here.
Led by Serai's expert, licensed storytellers, this free heritage walk is specially curated for locals who want to see their city with fresh eyes. Whether you pass through Kovan every day or have never visited, you'll walk away with brand-new historical narratives and a deeper appreciation for our shared heritage.
We offer this heritage walk for free as a way of giving back to the community. Please feel free to tip your guide based on the quality of your experience. This is a rain-or-shine event; bring an umbrella and a water bottle, and wear comfortable walking shoes.
