Geylang, one of Singapore's most intriguing districts, is a place where the old and new converge. With a history steeped in drug trade, sex work, and hidden societies, this area offers a captivating look into the city's urban transformation. Geylang is more than just its neon lights; it is a place of contradictions, blending faith, survival, and survivalist secrets in every corner.

This walking tour dives into the lesser-known history of Geylang. It’s a journey into the heart of Singapore’s legal red-light district, uncovering tales of crime, faith, and resilience that are rarely seen. You’ll get to experience Geylang’s streets, from sacred temples to shady corners where the drug trade and gambling dens once thrived. Along the way, you’ll hear from an ex-offender guide who will share rare insights into the survivalist world of Geylang.
