Singapore Quarry: A Secret Pocket of Nature
There is a secret pocket of nature as you walk past the Rail Corridor (Central) Trail known as Singapore Quarry ⛰️
Singapore has a number of quarries within the city, one of them being Singapore Quarry. Quarries were once used to mine granite to construct early roads and buildings before it was discontinued in the 1980s. These quarries are now left to fill with rain water and are part of our country's lush greenery and home to natural wildlife.

Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum 🗺️
#singaporetrip
Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum, Singapore – What a pleasure for nature fans such as myself on my trip in 2023! 🦕🌿 Paying 21 SGD for the entrance fee turned out to be a good investment given that I would enjoy an amazing biodiversity experience.
Walking into this museum located at the National University of Singapore, one is already floored by its stunning architectural design. The iconic rock-like structure, indicates the marvels inside. 🏛️🪨
The star of the show is open gallery spread over three stories housing 2,000 specimens. The gigantic fossils of life-sized dinosaurs such as the majestic Diplodocus made me embark on a prehistoric journey. 🦖🦕
The emphasis on Singapore’s indigenous wildlife was highlighted by the Raffles’ Banded Langur to be on display and this added interactive, hands-on exhibits. 🐒🔍
It feels as if glass cabinets filled with specimens are windows to the busy world of biodiversity – butterflies, beetles and an array of flora fauna. 🌺🦋
The garden of the museum is a quiet place to take one’s breath off and Kent Ridge Park nearby offers an excellent opportunity for taking on nature. 🚶♂️🌳
The NUS Baba House with its beautifully preserved interiors is just right across the street and gives a peek into Peranakan culture. A cultural two-for-one! 🏠🌏
The museum was conveniently located so I could spend time in the surrounding Clementi neighborhood, which is known for having local markets and hawker centers. A foodie's paradise! 🍜🥟
Pro tip: Schedule guided tours or special events at the museum – they offer you more information about what is presented on display. And don’t forget to bring your camera for some dino-mite snaps! 📸🦕
