Walking from Bencoolen MRT Station to Jalan Besar MRT Station via Bencoolen Street is a journey through a historically rich and culturally diverse part of Singapore. Bencoolen MRT, one of the deepest MRT stations in Singapore, sits 43 meters below ground. It is part of the Downtown Line and serves as a gateway to a vibrant district filled with a blend of modern and traditional elements. As you start your walk along Bencoolen Street, you pass by the historic Hotel Bencoolen and the modern Singapore Management University (SMU) campus, showcasing the area’s dynamic evolution.

A short detour brings you to Waterloo Street, where you’ll find two significant places of worship. The Sri Krishnan Temple, established in 1870, is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. It is known for its intricate carvings and the unique coexistence with the nearby Chinese temple, symbolizing Singapore’s multicultural harmony. Just a few steps away is the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, a Chinese temple dedicated to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. Founded in 1884, this temple is one of Singapore’s most important religious sites, attracting countless devotees who come to seek blessings.

Continuing your walk towards Jalan Besar, you’ll cross Bras Basah Road, where you can spot the National Museum of Singapore, the oldest museum in the country. As you approach Jalan Besar, the architectural landscape shifts to reveal well-preserved shophouses from the early 20th century, reflecting the area’s rich heritage. This walk, connecting two MRT stations, offers a unique insight into Singapore’s deep history, spiritual diversity, and urban transformation.
