The 5 Best Nature & Parks in Museum, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

The Sang Nila Utama Garden is a garden set within Fort Canning Park and named after the first of the ancient kings of Singapore. As such the garden has a South East Asian theme especially the architecture of ancient Indonesia and Malaysia. In keeping with the theme, there is a pond with waterlilies in a reflective pool, large potted plants, gateways, plants and sculptures typical of Javanese culture. Sang Nila Utama Garden is one of many themed gardens in Fort Canning Park. While all are beautifully landscaped and well tended, this is my favourite for its link to antiquity.

Fort Canning Park is one of Singapore's most historic landmarks. It has witnessed Singapore's golden age, when Malay Kings ruled from its peak, and watched as the island transformed from a sleepy fishing village into a vibrant trading hub in the 19th century. During World War II, the hill was instrumental in Singapore's war efforts with numerous military buildings located there. One of these buildings was the Fort Canning Bunker or Battle Box, where the decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese was made by the British. Many war relics from Singapore's colourful history have survived on the hill and are still visible today.Although the hill has since lost its imposing stature, its distinctive charm still remains. The lush lawns draw picnics, concerts, theatre productions and festivals, while weddings, parties and gatherings are a regular sight in the park's elegant indoor function rooms. Visit the park today and experience the tranquillity once enjoyed by the Malay royals of yore.

This park is set on a hill that used to be part of the Fort Canning Fortifications. Some military structures are still near the top of the hill and these are clearly marked with dire warnings for trespassing. The park is a beautiful area with several gardens inspired by the history of Singapore including the Raffles Garden, Spice Garden, and my personal favourite, the Sang Nila Utama Garden inspired by the first king of Singapore. There’s also a sculpture hiking trail published by the National Parks of Singapore that’ll take you through the park to see the many sculptures inside. The park is a great way to spend at least half a day hiking in a beautiful setting.
