The lake area has been renovated and now looks more pleasant and full of people. It used to be the regular park with people jogging and walking in monotonous looking plants and shrubs. Now the garden plants are mixed and designed after Balinese style, which looks a lot better. The chinese and japanese gardens are somewhat abandoned after the new park opens..not many people. If you are going on a weekend, beware of so many NParks volunteers and tour groups, dog (hush puppy dogs) people at the dog park. Very crowded. Overall is a nice walk around the lake, with organised pathways and greenery and exotic plants. Some of the plants are still new and maybe in another 6-12 months, will mature and look better. New playgrounds and sitting areas and a resident CRAZY woodpecker pecking on the lamp-post is available at the Japanese Garden main gate. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

It has great walking tracks and lots of paths to choose from. There are lots of squirrels and other wildlife in this park which makes it interesting. This park is nothing like east coast park, there is only McDonald's to eat at and the only paying ride is to hire 4 seater bikes to ride around. There is a large dog area which is enclosed so you can take your dog off the leash. Well this park had all what needs to make it a perfect destination. It had children rides and camping site. The most attracting part of it was the Harbor view. It gave a complete view-line of the shipyard and the sea facing view on the deck was just too awesome if you are with your partner its one the best free* Romantic spot you wanna go !! #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

This place still offers an experience of the big one ear - walking around here will leave you craving for more . The easy access by the public transport SMRT subway and the buses makes it easy . Walking shoes are helpful. Get off at the local MRT station and go to the Maxwell Food Centre. This is a legendary food court that's even better than the generally high standards of food centres in Singapore. The neighbourhood isn't particularly exciting but it's interesting to walk around. There is an entire row of boutiques selling wedding dresses, if you cannot find a dress at one shop, do pop into the next one and take a look. The restaurants here serve delicious food, but do make sure you make reservations before hand to avoid disappointment and be prepared to pay a pretty penny for the food. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

We visited on a cloudy weekday. Take MRT NEL to Punggol station. Following Google direction, an easy 10-15 mins walk. We realised later the park is accessible from the newly opened Waterway Point Mall. From MRT station, take Exit A. Walk into mall, go one level down to B1. Somewhere near the ToastBox cafe is a staircase to walk down to the park. We didn't need sunscreen or mosquito repellent. But do bring some if you are sensitive to the sun/mosquitoes. There are several playgrounds for the little ones. Do watch out for cyclists. Pedestrian / cyclist paths are not clearly marked out at some places in the park. Also take note of warning about stray dogs. We saw 3 from a distance. They were passing through the park, quite harmless. Overall a great park to bring the family out. Away from frenzy downtown. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

Pulau Ubin has lush greenery and abundant wildlife creating the best place for travel photographers and nature lovers. The place has many trails; one such Sensory Trail has tags of unique flora along the 1.5 kilometers stretch. Pekan Quarry and Butterfly Hill will give an insight to appreciate nature more. For adventure explorer, Pulau Ubin has Chek Jawa wetlands and boardwalk. A walk along the 1.1-kilometre boardwalk allows the onlookers to see marine wildlife. Whereas the Jejawi Tower allows having a panoramic view of the island and it’s a perfect place for bird watchers. Pulau Ubin also has something for thrill seekers. You can cycle along the Ubin’s biking trails that vary from moderate to difficult tracks. A visit to German girl shrine is also worthy and Kayak through the mangroves will give you an unimaginable experience. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

Clarke quay has lots of restaurants on the banks of a river. Lots of food choices to explore. There was also a Turkish ice-cream vendor who does a show before he gives the ice cream. Very busy after dark, with some restaurants having outdoor seating along the river. Plenty of food options, bars, entertainment, etc. Our favourite place was Renn Thai. Excellent food every time, good service (one night it was slow.), and just sitting by the river at night watching the boats was lovely and relaxing. If you enjoy dessert try their mango sticky rice, so good! The atmosphere at this place is very lively and you will not even notice how much time you spent at this place. Must visit in Singapore. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #cityoverlook

Orchard Road is Singapore's shopping street everyone goes there to shop they have designer shopping malls with Gucci Louis Vuitton and much more.

Many malls , don't forget to check out the basement sections : Singapore shopping, malls and commercial buildings are abuzz with life in the basements. #rediscoversg #urbanexplorer #nightphotoguide

A pleasant stay overall in Pan Pacific Singapore! The staff were friendly and courteous. The auntie with short hair and spectacles at the edge during breakfast time was really nice. She would often check in on us and refill our drinks, tell us to go get more food haha. Didn't get her name though :( Room was clean, not dust-free clean, but clean enough for us. 😅 Found small bugs in the clothes cupboard in one of our rooms but as we did not use the cupboard and there weren't bugs outside, it was not really a big issue for us. Booked 2 rooms and the hotel kindly gave us a connecting room, hence our parents and us can easily communicate with one another. As I did not have a hdmi cable, the service staff kindly lend us a hdmi cable for our use as well (so yay to being able to stream and watch movies on their big smart TV hehe) Breakfast was a buffet line breakfast (but, instead of getting the food yourself, you tell the chefs what do you want and they'll get it for you). We were all so full after the breakfast and I'm sad that we only had 2d1n stay there as there are quite a lot of varieties for breakfast and we couldn't stomach them all... 😭 Gym was not opened when I was there, and while the pool is open, did not use it hence no comments on that. Check in was faster than expected. I arrived 1 hour early but as the room was already ready, they allowed us to check in early. Check in process took 10-15 minutes. Checking out was way faster (took only less than 5 minutes) since they have the express check out option. Price came up to be 433 sgd for 2 rooms for 2 days 1 night after utilising the Singapore rediscover vouchers. Location is nearby shopping malls and major attractions like gardens by the Bay or Singapore flyer or the duck tours ride. So you definitely won't be bored. #rediscoversg#beautifulhotel

Singapore is an amazing place to stay. this city state has a lot to offer, be it business, family or couples trip. 🏝 Santosa Island - this is a pretty big resort with great views of the ocean and quality hotels. great place to have a business team building outing or enjoy with the family. There are many activities from zip lining to jungle treetop climbing. ⛱ The beach is a very relaxing place and the water is clear enough to swim. It is safe for kids and has a protective rope that separates it from places you shouldn’t swim to. 🍜 The food is pretty good with a great buffet options. Wondering off to the city was our favoured thing to do to get local fresh Singaporean dishes. the Hokkien shops are amazing with Michelin star establishments for a very affordable price. get the crab dishes and try out the curries. A must see. ✈️ The Airport - This might sound strainge but the airport is a great place to check out. plan to get there a couple of hours ahead of your flight because they have a butterfly room. good food. and a waterfall and rainforest in the middle. One of the best airports in the world. Actually... the best I would say. 🇸🇬 Attractions - Check out the popular tourist attractions such as the merlion and botanical gardens, as-well as marina bay sands. these are all must see places so.... check them out!!! Enough said. Singapore is amazing. Go visit! 🙂 #urbanexplorer #singapore #santosa #hokkienstands #MaydayTrip #HappyLaborday
