Despite its name suggesting that it is a park for the people, exploring People’s Park Complex is by no means a walk in the park.
Better known as Zhen Zhu Fang to the older Chinese generation in Singapore, the Chinese characters, 珍珠坊, are clearly imprinted on the narrow façade facing Eu Tong Sen Street. People’s Park Complex today continues to reflect the vision of a large social living room. It is a public domain just like the old street in Chinatown, where residents of the neighborhood would gather to socialize, eat, and shop.
