Chinatown Heritage Centre
Decades ago, it was a norm for a family of six or more to be living in a small cubicle and for many families to share a common cooking area and shower facilities. The tiny ‘eight by eight’ living quarters contained minimal furnishings, and the surroundings illustrated the struggle and sacrifice of our early settlers.
First opened in 2002, the original Chinatown Heritage Centre underwent a renovation in October 2014. Just before it closed, Haroko Studio created a 360 degree virtual tour to document the old exhibits. The new Chinatown Heritage Centre was reopened in January 2016.
Although some of the old exhibits are now gone or rearranged, we have documented everything and preserved it digitally. The virtual tour photography was taken in high resolution that allows you to take a closer look at the details. Feel free to take a 360 degree online tour of the old Chinatown Heritage Centre.

Share Your Culture and History Through a Virtual Tour
A heritage virtual tour can even be used in the classroom to educate students on cultures, civilizations, and history. Imagine how exciting it would be for a class of young learners to tour through a heritage virtual tour as their teacher describes and educates. With VR, the viewing experience will be even more immersive, and the young learners would feel like they are viewing the heritage sites or centres in person. This unique virtual experience will be a memorable one.
As technology progresses, virtual tours will become a powerful education tool for teachers. No matter where a school is located, popular historical sites will be accessible through a virtual field-trip.
