My World Tuesday - Changi City Point

Last weekend, hubby and me decided to visit Changi City Point which is located in the central of Changi Business Park. It is just opposite the Expo MRT Station one station away from Changi Airport MRT Station.

It is worth shopping in here, many shops offering huge discounts and dining and shopping are very affordable here.

Some travellers make a last minute stop at the mall before heading to the airport. Saw many shoppers lugging their suitcases along.

The Expo MRT Station looked like a huge spaceship. Could not manage to capture the whole station in my camera.

How to go to Little Guilin, Singapore

It is so easy to visit Little Guilin although it is a distance from the city. Take the MRT Train and alight at Bukit Gombak MRT Station and exit from B and turn left from the road to walk all the way to the park.

I decided to walk under the mrt tracks for some shades so I turn left on the second road from the MRT Station and walked under the corridor of Block 523. It was a short walk for me, think was less than 10 minutes walk from the MRT Station.

Skywatch Friday - Little Guilin - Relax in the park

Nice park to spend the day especially in the morning and evening but even at noon, there are many tall trees providing shades from the hot sun.

Love the photo of the woman relaxing and reading a book in the park.

Not sure what this man is collecting from the pond but I guess must be some pond specimens for research purposes.


Some senior citizens spending the day catching fishes, wonder what type of fishes lived in the pond but I came a cross a 2 feet long aquatic snake just inches from my feet. It startled me as much as I startled it hahaha. Before I could take a photo shot of it, the snake quickly slithered back to the pond.

My World Tuesday - Little Guilin in Singapore

Little Guilin is a park in Bukit Gombak, Singapore. It is a popular visitor attraction due to its similarity to the scenery of Guilin, China.

Constructed from a disused granite quarry, Bukit Batok Town Park is commonly known as "Little Guilin" or "Xiao Guilin", after the scenic spot in China. Comprising 42 ha of land, it is located at Bukit Batok East Avenue 5. The name "Bukit Batok" has been suggested to be derived from the noise made by the blasting in the granite quarry that now form the natural surroundings of Little Guilin. The Housing and Development Board had originally intended to fill the quarry up and build a road on it in 1984. It was converted to a pond instead when it was realized that the existing quarry had rugged granite outcrops and a contrasting backdrop of green hills that gave it a pleasant look. You can view more information from here.

The apartments on the top right hand corner gave away that this is not the real Guilin in China.
