Description
Over the years, numerous cemeteries have been cleared to make way for new developments due to Singapore's growing population. As a result, Bukit Brown is currently under close monitoring and faces the imminent risk of being displaced. Being one of our last surviving cemeteries, Bukit Brown is treasured as a cultural gem listed on the World Monuments Watch list. Don't miss out on this special opportunity to visit this historical heritage with us before it's gone!
With National Day right around the corner, let's come together to celebrate and gain insights into the contributions of our Chinese ancestors, making this momentous occasion truly memorable!
多年来，随着新加坡人口的不断增加，许多墓地已被清理，以便为新的发展项目让路。作为幸存的墓地之一，武吉布朗正面临可能被迫迁移的紧迫风险。武吉布朗被视为文化瑰宝，并列入世界古迹观察名单。国庆节即将来临，让我们齐聚，一同探访历史遗产，深入了解华族先辈对国家的贡献。
这将是一次令人难忘的共度国庆佳节的探索之旅！
This tour is a special Kinmen Clan edition, where our volunteer guides will focus more on the stories of our Kinmen ancestors. 此行程为金门乡亲特制，我们的义工导游将更多地关注金门先民的故事。
