DHOBY GHAUT


In 1920s, many washermen from India came to Singapore to work for money by washing clothes, therefore, the name of Dhoby Ghaut( the place to wash clothings in hindi) was given.


HAW PAR VILLA


The place was built in 1937 by brothers Aw Boon Haw and Aw Boon Par who are the developers of the Tiger Balm (a heat rub). It was oricinally called as the "Tiger Balm Gardens", but renamed and reopened as "Haw Par Villa" in 1985. The park contains scenes depicted from old chinese folklores, legends and histories.
