Discover the Real Singapore Beyond the Tourist Trails
♡ Save
Join us to discover the real Singapore beyond the tourist trails! Explore local neighborhoods, uncover hidden stories, and see how everyday life unfolds in the heart of the city. A journey off the beaten path awaits!
We'll leave behind the bright lights and famous attractions and head to the northeastern corner of Singapore to explore the town of Punggol (Yes, the tour is just as fun as you trying to say the name)
On this walking tour, you will get to see and learn about:
Homes for Everyone: Over 80% of Singaporeans live in public housing. We will stroll through a public housing town and learn about where we live, and catch a glimpse of daily life in Singapore.
Where Communities Connect: Building towns is easy, but building communities is a different challenge. Discover the community spaces specially designed and built to bring people of different races together.
More Than Just Green: See how Singapore integrates nature into our towns, creating more spaces for play for everyone.
A Glimpse of Tomorrow: Explore the Punggol Digital District and see how Singapore continues to experiment with new urban designs so as to bring industry, technology, and community together. Singapore is much more than just Chinatown, Little India, the Gardens by the Bay, or the Zoo. Join me to see the real Singapore, beyond the usual tourist trails.
