The word “Singapore” would always bring up an image of a bustling modern atmosphere in many people’s minds. True to this, Singapore really is a busy place where business, tourism and much more takes place within a very small land area. The massive developments that have taken place in the country have made it a cosmopolitan destination. Apart from this modernity that is seen by the entire world, Singapore has its own peaceful and quiet heritage as well.
If one wishes to step away from the hustle and bustle of the city while in Singapore, the best escape is to the Changi Village. The former Changi hospital had been located in this village, and was also known as the Royal Air force Hospital. It is said that manslaughter had taken place in this area during World War II, when the Japanese were in charge of the area. For those who are interested in the supernatural, you would hear many stories and incidents while walking through the streets of this small town. Even though it is famous for being haunted by restless souls who were killed during the war, the environment today does not show any sign of gloominess. Greenery could be seen miles and miles ahead and most of the time a soft breeze would gently wrap around you and take away your worldly weariness.
During the weekends, many people use this village as a stopping point en route to places like Pengarang and Pulau Ubin in Malaysia for the delicious and cheap seafood offered. There are a vast number of coffee shops and restaurants scattered throughout the area that provide mouth-watering delicacies. If you wish to try the local dishes, there would be no better place than this. After spending a fruitful day exploring this historically important city, visit the Changi Point Boardwalk. Watch the sunset reflect on the water while the sky changes its colours. Absorb the full import of this perfect moment in nature and click a few snaps to take home as well.
