The National Heritage Board and the National Parks Board present BalikSG, a new augmented reality (AR) trail that will bring you on an immersive journey along the Singapore River and around Fort Canning. ‘Balik‘ means ‘go back’ in Malay, hence the name ‘BalikSG’ translates into going back in time and finding out more about Singapore’s history!
Download the free BalikSG smartphone app, and rediscover and experience for yourself – AR-style – significant events and places in our history. These include witnessing the signing of the 1819 treaty at the Padang, listening into a probable conversation between Sir Stamford Raffles and Major William Farquhar when they set foot on our shores, and revisiting Fort Canning back when it was known as Bukit Larangan and Government Hill. BalikSG features 2 different trails – the Singapore River Trail and Fort Canning Trail. For more information, visit www.balik.sg.
Simple, easy to use, and puts an interactive spin on Singapore's history - this AR app tells the story of Singapore in an engaging way!
Anyone who'd love to revisit Singapore's history, plus the techies of course!
You can interact with Raffles and Farquhar!
