My Holland Village Heritage Tour [English] (21 March 2026)

A mention of the place "Holland Village" and trendy cafes and upscale fashion boutiques immediately spring to mind. The rustic, old town charm of this popular neighbourhood is recently elevated by swanky, new developments at the village centre. Who would have thought that Holland Village was once a rubber plantation and a military camp?

Take a stroll around Holland Village with My Community as we trace the neighbourhood's colourful heritage through iconic landmarks at Chip Bee Gardens and Lorong Mambong, where villagers from the rubber estate once gathered to sell or buy their farm produce.

This tour also includes a memorable visit to Singapore's oldest Hakka memorial hall at Shuang Long Shan and the Ying Fo Fui Kun cemetery.
