singapore chinese cultural centre 27 56
The Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre is a major hub for showcasing and promoting Chinese culture in Singapore, designed to connect people with traditional and modern aspects of Chinese Singaporean identity.
It’s situated in the heart of the CBD, making it easily accessible by MRT, bus, or car.
The centre offers a wide range of exhibitions, performances, talks, and workshops highlighting everything from traditional festivals and dialects to contemporary music, film, and visual arts.
Don’t miss the “SINGAPO 人” gallery—it’s an engaging showcase of how local Chinese traditions have evolved over time, including food culture, popular sayings, pop music, and more.
During major Chinese festivals, the centre comes alive with performances, workshops (like dumpling wrapping or lantern crafting), and family activities.
SCCC also partners with schools and community groups to run educational programmes and outreach projects here that promote greater understanding among all Singaporeans.
Don’t forget to check out the rooftop terrace for panoramic CBD views or relax at the café after your visit.
It’s just minutes from Tanjong Pagar MRT; multiple bus routes stop right outside the building.
If you’re interested in art, history or just exploring what it means to be Chinese in Singapore today, SCCC is well worth a visit.
