Chijmes : school turned Chapel

#localhistory Chijmes is a national monument of SIngaporeand made world wide famous when the movie CRAZY RICH ASIAN was filmed in the wedding hall. You do not actually have to be crazy rich to hold your wedding here however it is not the cheapest venue, you pay to get a nice venue, and I guess it got even worthier after the movie. Chijmes names means Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Middle Education School. This is because in the pass it was a Catholic Covent for a girl school and orphanage. Currently, the venue is now open for wedding ceremony and home to many restaurants and pubs. It is quite a famous location for tourist to come and chill. For the nature lovers you can try lazing on the grass lawn. The good thing is there isn’t admission fee, so anyone can enter and absorb the atmosphere of the area, however, the chapel area is not open to public.
