Eu Tong Sen St Walkway

This location is in Chinatown and is a sheltered walkway on Eu Tong Sen St between People's Park Complex and Pearls Centre. Arrive at the Chinatown MRT station and take exit “D.” Walk towards the People's Park Complex on your left (high rise yellow façade), continue through the People’s park complex, exit the opposite side, and cross the zebra crossing. You will see an overhead bridge and a sheltered walkway with red pillars. Walk under the sheltered walkway and ta-dah, you have reached the location! By MRT: - Closest MRT Station: Chinatown (North East and Downtown Line) - Take exit “D”

All months of the year are suitable to shoot under the sheltered walkway.

If you visit during mid-day to late-afternoon, it won’t be too hot and you’ll have adequate light to illuminate the walkway. Try to avoid lunch hour and dinner time, unless you intend to capture the bustling street vibes of Chinatown. I visited during a weekday afternoon (4-5pm) and I saw less than ten people in the 15 minutes I was photographing. If you would like to bring your own model or would like to try a #minimal_people shot, visit either early morning between 9-11am or between 3-5pm.

Any normal lens will do – I took this photograph with my iPhone 6S!

I stood in the middle of the walkway and shot from the waist level to get the perfect symmetrical shot with equal headroom and foreground.

The walkway is great for symmetrical shots. You may use your camera’s grid to ensure you capture its symmetry!

Chinatown is full of great local delights! You can visit the most photographic and famous temple – The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple – which is a 10 minute walk away.
