Sites of Interest

1. Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary

From attap beginnigs... When first founded in 1852, the parish was housed in an attap chapel deep in the jungle. Many of its congregation comprised Teochew Catholics from the area. The current neo-Gothic building was completed in 1901.

2. Jiu Huang Da Ti Temple

Aged tiles and faded door gods. The Jiu Huang Da Ti Temple is a hidden gem tucked away along Upper Serangoon Road. Rustic and beautifully aged, the temple was completed in 1921 and is dedicated to the Nine Emperor Gods. Look out of the old Chinese kampong house next to the temple!

3. Crocodile Farm

Of fangs and reptilian scales!... The Tan Moh Hong Reptile Skin and Crocodile Farm was established in 1945 and is the oldest of its kind in Singapore. Curious crocodilians may enter the farm for free to view its crocodile pits, a small workshop where processing of crocodile skin takes place, and a giftshop.

4. Japanese Cemetery

War graves, monk statuettes and stone memorials. Deep in the heart of a residential estate is the Japanese Cemetery Park. Established in 1891, the cemetery holds some 910 graves and a Worship Hall, and serves as a reminder of the early Japanese community.

5. Charcoal Warehouse

Broken roofs and crumbling bricks. The red brick warehouses here are a reminder of the days gone past. As if frozen in time, the warehouses still stock charcoal for export to other countires. Get an eye-opening experience at this part of Singapore that is rapidly disappearing.

6. Downtown East

Downtown East possesses everthing that a family needs to get away for the weekend: chalets, barbeque pits, arcade games, restaurants and even a theme park!

7. Upper Serangoon Road

What's that I smell in the air? You may ask yourself that when walking down the stretch of Upper Serangoon Road between Lim Ah Pin Road and Kovan MRT Station in the evenings. Discover Teochew porridge flavoured with lovely chunks of sweet potato, two famous nasi lemak rivals located almost side by side and a curry place that only opens after 2am in the morning!

8. Air Force Museum

Choppers, fighter jets, supersonic airplanes.It's every aviation fan's dream here at the Air Force Museum. Find out all about the planes that the Singapore Air Force uses, what the inside of a plane looks like, and fulfill your dream to be a fighter pilot!

9. Hougang Well

Wayang shows, 'quack doctors' and stroy-tellers. Along Hougang Street 21, in front of block 203, stands a unique tribute to the people of Serangoon and Hougang - the 'Da Jing Jiao' well.It remembers an actual well which served the residents and bears a memorial plaque with vivid descriptions of the area.

10. Punggol Jetty

Massacre, execution, uncovered human remins... The peaceful and tranquil surroundings of Punggol Beach belie a tragic past. During the Japanese Occupation, some 300-400 Chinese males were massacred along its foreshore as part of the Sook Ching Operation. A National Heritage Borad marker at the jetty commemorates the event. Up to this day, haunted tales still surround this tranquil fisherman's paradise, so be careful where you tread!

11. Pasir Ris Farmway

Where every pet owner's desires may be met... The farms here carry dogs, cats,prawns, ornamental and aquarium fishes, and aquatic plants. Who knows, they may just be place to get that prized Arrowana fish!

12. World Habitat Award

The World Habitat Award was awarded to Tampines Town in 1992 by the Building and Social Foundation of the Untied Nations, placing the town on par with quality housing districts in countries ranging from Australia to the Unties States. You can view the award in front of the HDB building in Tampines Central.

13. Tampines Chinese Temple

Old Gods, new homes... The Tampines Chinese Temple is a wonderful combination of nine different village temples. Completed in 1986, the grand and majestic building still houses the original statues of the deities from their early temples.

One can also catch a specimen of the famous Tempinis Tree (Streblus Elongatus) in front of the temple.

14. Pasir Ris Park

Ah, the white sand of Pasir Ris! Enjoy a day frolicking in the waters, exploring the mangrove swamp and discovering the spice garden. Don't forget to top off the evening with satay at Fisherman's Village!
