3 landmarks with verified facts and stories
Haw Par Villa
262 Pasir Panjang Rd, Queenstown, Singapore, 118628, Singapore
Haw Par Villa is the strangest attraction in Singapore — a hillside theme park built in 1937 by the Aw brothers (creators of Tiger Balm) featuring over 1,000 statues and dioramas depicting scenes from Chinese mythology, Confucian moral tales, and the Ten Courts of Hell, rendered in a style that ranges from folk art to fever dream.
Katong & Joo Chiat
46 East Coast Rd, Marine Parade, Singapore, 428766, Singapore
Katong and Joo Chiat form the heartland of Peranakan culture in Singapore — a neighbourhood of pastel shophouses, Nonya restaurants, and the ornate tile work that is the visual signature of the Straits Chinese community.
MacRitchie TreeTop Walk
181 Lornie Rd, Central Water Catchment, Singapore, 297732, Singapore
The MacRitchie TreeTop Walk is a 250-metre free-standing suspension bridge suspended 25 metres above the forest canopy in the heart of Singapore — a swaying, exhilarating crossing that puts you at eye level with the treetops of primary and mature secondary rainforest, with long-tailed macaques, flying lemurs, and over 100 bird species for company.
