More than just a photo op for the ‘gram, the Bukit Timah Railway Station along Rail Corridor was Singapore’s first railway built in 1903! Back then, it was used for commuting and transporting goods between Singapore and Malaysia.
Although the track is no longer in use, it still exists as a sentimental reminder of Singapore’s railway history and heritage.
Henderson Waves

Standing 36 metres tall above street level, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. Its unique wavelike geometry makes it an architectural marvel to behold. Steeped in history and greenery, this is where you can catch a 360 glimpse of the city, harbour and the Southern Islands.

Tucked away at Palawan Beach, this suspended wooden bridge connects the white, sandy shores to a tiny island just off the coast! Dubbed as the “southernmost point of Continental Asia”, this spot offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding South China Sea.
Bishan‑Ang Mo Kio Park
Need a break from working from home? Take a walk in one of the largest urban parks in central Singapore!
Covering a full 62 hectares of unique waterways and greenery, Bishan‑Ang Mo Kio park isn’t just a great place for a solitary stroll, it’s the ideal location for families on a day out.
Nature lovers will enjoy catching sight of the wide array of flora and fauna, which includes some of our infamous otters; while fitness enthusiasts can cycle or jog, fully immersed in the serenity. The park also boasts an inclusive playground for children, with features like a wheelchair‑accessible swing and merry‑go‑round, so nobody gets left out! There’s also food establishments located at certain points in the park, but why not have your own picnic instead?
Telok Blangah Hill Park
Contrast with the stately elegance of grey stone terraces, the pink bougainvilleas at Telok Blangah Hill Park, which can bloom year‑round, are a reminder that nature’s beauty is never too far in our garden city
For the unfamiliar, Telok Blangah Hill Park has a history that few other parks can lay claim to — it’s been standing since the early 19th century when it was first established as a gathering place for traders. The nearby Alkaff Mansion, a graceful colonial bungalow, is a symbol of that prosperity, and was used by Arab traders to host decadent parties for the social elite! Today, these park sites have become a staple location for lifestyle bloggers and wedding photographers – why not get in on the fun too in your best pink ensemble?
