SINGAPORE - As visitors stepped into the Fuk Tai Chi Temple, they were greeted by an intricate model of a boat with Chinese characters wishing seafarers a safe journey painted on its sail.
Attended by around 50 members of the public, including local students, Friday's short tour offered a sneak preview of the full 2.5 hour-long heritage trail . Visitors were impressed by the 44m-long mural behind the temple, depicting the life of early Hokkien immigrants when they had first arrived at Amoy Street. The mural was painted by Mr Yip Yew Chong, who introduced his piece to the visitors.
"It is now totally different," he said."Things have changed very fast, but it is good. Change means improvement."
