1. lemon8 limits the number of photos per post so unfortunately, i can only show 9 wall arts here even tho i have a whopping ✨️FIFTEEN✨️ pieces to yap abt :(
2. if u wanna access the full list, just go to my blog 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔.𝒄𝒐𝒎, scroll a lil down and click on the most recent post (if ure seeing this a few mths late, then just Search ‘Katong’ at the top bar). my blog version of this post will include all 15 murals, and also some bg info abt each piece.
3. if u do go to my blog, u will see the murals being listed in geographical order, so that u can follow them thru seamlessly frm start to finish, like a smart person wld.
**MORE IMPTLY**, i have also created a Google Map of the full trail with all the murals pinned, so that even if u get distracted by side quests along the way (which i guarantee u will loll), u can easily find ur way back to the trail in no time.
if ure happy enough with this trail, then by all means skip the blog. but if ure OCD like me and need to know EVRRYTHANNNGGG then feel free to hop over for all the deets

If you're planning to explore the Joo Chiat and Katong street art trail, having a detailed map makes all the difference. When I did my trail, the Google Map I created helped me find all 15 mural spots effortlessly, even when I got sidetracked by the many charming cafes and boutiques scattered around the neighborhood. One mural that really stood out to me was at 471 Joo Chiat Road, called "Anatomical Reverberation." It's a fascinating piece that draws you in with its intricate details and street vibes. Don’t miss the "Katong Antique House" at 208 East Coast Road, which beautifully showcases the heritage of the area. Walking from one mural to another is a breeze when you follow the mapped route, arranged in geographical order to keep your journey smooth. Along the walk, you’ll notice how the street art reflects Joo Chiat's rich culture and history while adding modern flair. It’s like taking a creative tour through time and community. Plus, the trail gives you a real sense of the neighborhood’s character—stop by local bicycle shops like DK Bike Works, or explore nearby gems such as Kampong Glam to extend your adventure. For anyone serious about street art or wanting to see Singapore’s vibrant east side beyond the usual spots, this mural trail is a must. Just bring comfortable shoes, stay hydrated, and have fun discovering hidden artistic treasures in Joo Chiat and Katong!
