Singapore is an eclectic and vibrant fusion of different cultures and races, comprising Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian, and Peranakan ethnic groups. There is harmony in this diversity, which is why the Lion City is lionised for its rich history of multiculturalism.

This history is also championed in Singaporean literature, or Sing Lit, through the beautiful structures that speak of its deep heritage. Sing Lit: Read Our World, the movement that aims to celebrate stories from Singapore, listed nine urban landscapes in the city-state that have been featured in Sing Lit. By inviting readers to explore these places, readers are thus taken on a visual storytelling journey of Singapore.

Here are five places you should visit that have been featured in Sing Lit. Feel free to take photos of the structures and tag @singlit.world on Instagram and to check out the books they were featured in!

Lau Pa Sat

Who hasn't heard of Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians?" Lau Pa Sat, formerly known as Telok Ayer Market, was featured in the bestselling novel. Housed in a monumental Victorian structure, the market's octagonal design was retained by engineer James MacRitchie when it was officially renamed Lau Pa Sat in 1989, as per government heritage portal Roots. Now, it is the cradle of the city-state's unique food culture, with an array of delicious dishes from authentic Singapore and international cuisines.

Location: Lau Pa Sat, 18 Raffles Quay, Singapore

MacRitchie Nature Trail & Reservoir Park

The MacRitchie Reservoir figures in husband-and-wife writing duo A.J. Low's "Sherlock Sam and the Cloaked Classmate in MacRitchie," published under Epigram Books. The reservoir is considered a "playground of nature," known to Singaporeans for its cross-country runs, trails, and TreeTop Walk, as per official tourism site Visit Singapore.

The TreeTop Walk is a 250-metre-long suspension bridge that spans the reservoir's two highest points, perfect for a peaceful walk above greenery. For a heart-pumping jog or walk, the 11-kilometre MacRitchie Trails can be found within the Central Catchment Nature Reserve's rainforest. Trivia: Singaporean World War II war hero Lim Bo Seng's grave is nestled in the reservoir.
