Haji Lane, Narrow alley in Kampong Glam, Singapore
Haji Lane features rows of restored 19th-century shophouses filled with independent boutiques, modern cafes, and restaurants along its 200-meter stretch.
The lane served as temporary accommodation for Muslim pilgrims preparing for their Hajj journey to Mecca during the 1800s, followed by housing Malay families.
The street walls showcase numerous murals created by local artists, representing contemporary Singaporean art expressions among traditional architecture.
Visitors can reach Haji Lane by taking the MRT to Bugis Station and walking through the adjacent streets of the Kampong Glam district.
Independent clothing stores sell Singapore-designed fashion pieces while restaurants serve fusion dishes combining local ingredients with international recipes.

Singapore combines modern architecture with cultural diversity within a compact area, providing photographers with varied settings just a few subway stations apart. The city features futuristic sites such as the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, standing 25 to 50 meters tall (82 to 164 feet), Marina Bay Sands with its 200-meter (656-foot) high rooftop, and the Helix Bridge, a pedestrian walkway designed to resemble a DNA double helix. The historic districts contrast with these modern structures. Chinatown retains its Chinese temples and arcade houses, Little India its spice markets and colorful facades, while Haji Lane in Kampong Glam lines with independent boutiques and wall murals in a narrow alley. The Merlion Park at Marina Bay, with its 8.6-meter-long (28 feet) statue blending lion and fish, remains the most photographed symbol of the city-state. Sentosa’s beaches, accessible by cable car, add a coastal element to this dense urban landscape.
