Jurong Lake Gardens went through a major facelift in September 2024 after five years of reconstruction. The results? Two gorgeous new gardens – the Chinese Garden and the Japanese Garden. With lily-filled ponds, structures inspired by ancient Chinese architecture, and serene water features, these new spots make the journey to the West worth it. If you need more convincing, we’ve rounded up the best things to see at the gardens, so read on to find out more:  RECOMMENDED: The most beautiful public parks in Singapore and The best nature trails in Singapore Getting to the Chinese and Japanese Gardens For those unfamiliar with the West turf, Jurong Lake Gardens consists of three gardens: Lakeside Garden, Chinese Garden, and Japanese Garden. All share the same carparks, but since the two carparks are near Lakeside Garden, visitors driving will need to walk 15 minutes to reach the Chinese and Japanese Gardens. We recommend taking the train and starting at the Chinese Garden. Alight at Chinese Garden MRT Station and take Exit B. Take a short walk along the sheltered walkway and you’ll reach the park in five minutes.  You can get around the park by walking, cycling or hopping on the free shuttle bus service which operates every 30 minutes between Lakeside and Japanese Garden. Do note that this is a six-month trial service, and National Parks Board (NParks) has not released the end date to this trial – but we did see the shuttle bus when we visited on February 28, 2025.

There's much ado about Jurong Lake Gardens, especially after the Chinese Gardens and Japanese Gardens reopened in 2024. Aside from the two new gardens, we also have Lakeside Gardens, a landscaped, yet naturalistic, park has tons of attractive spots and nature trails that show off the natural heritage of Jurong, while showcasing ways that man and nature can coexist.  Easily accessible from Chinese Gardens MRT and Lakeside MRT, Jurong Lake Gardens is a stunning waterfront destination for nature lovers, families, fitness enthusiasts, and just about anyone who wants a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. We break down the main spots you should be checking out, as well as other things to see and do in this sanctuary of the West.  RECOMMENDED: The ultimate guide to Fort Canning Park and The best secret and hidden gardens in Singapore

This waterfront place has photogenic nature trails, family-friendly activity spots, and several eateries where you can refuel after exploring. We’ve rounded up the best things to see in this ultimate guide to Lakeside Garden, so get your butt up and make your way over to the West.   RECOMMENDED: The ultimate guide to Fort Canning Park and The best secret and hidden gardens in Singapore How to get to Lakeside Garden The journey to the West might seem far if you don’t live in the area, but Jurong Lake Gardens is accessible by train and bus. Those taking the train can alight at Lakeside MRT station and exit via Exit A. Turn left and follow the sheltered walkway, cross Yuan Ching Road, and you’ll arrive at the entrance (at Lakeside Plaza). You can also take a 20-minute walk from Jurong East MRT station to the Japanese Garden Bridge in Jurong Lake Gardens.  If taking the bus is more convenient for you, hop on bus 154 or 246 and alight at the Chinese Garden stop (stop number 21659). Alternatively, there are two carparks, North and South, if you prefer to drive to Jurong Lake Gardens. Parking is free from Monday to Sunday from 5am to 8.30am and 12pm to 2pm. Charges go at $0.60 per 30 minutes for all other timings.

It’s no surprise that Sentosa’s a popular destination amongst both locals and tourists. It’s home to arguably one of the best beaches in the world, Singapore’s first all-villa resort, and a mega water park. But one factor that may discourage frequent visits to this fun-filled island is the long journey from the mainland. Here’s where Grab’s new shuttle bus service steps in. In March 2025, the ride-hailing company launched this initiative with Sentosa as part of their three-year partnership, where shuttle buses operate from Sentosa’s Beach Station (Berth 12 and 13) to Harbourfront Bus Interchange. The best part – it’s completely free. Timings for Sentosa’s free shuttle bus from Harbourfront:  Fridays to Sundays: 6pm to 9pm at 10-minute intervals  Public holidays and long weekends: 3pm to 6pm at 10-minute intervals, 6pm to 9pm at five-minute intervals Cheers to greater convenience at no cost, and more trips over to Sentosa during the weekends!  READ MORE Potential new Tengah and Seletar MRT lines to be operational in the 2040s Muji Singapore opens first Northeast outlet at Punggol Coast Mall, with opening promotions and a guided nature walk It’s confirmed: Blue Bottle Coffee will open its first café in Singapore at Raffles City

Singapore has over 160 MRT stations across six lines – including the new Hume MRT Station and the addition of the extensive Thomson-East Coast line. The expansion doesn’t end there. Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat announced on March 5, 2025 that feasibility studies by the Land Transport Authority for two potential new rail lines are in the works.  Details have yet to be confirmed, but here’s what we know so far. The first line, Tengah Line, covers the west and northwest sectors of Singapore. It will potentially cover Tengah, Bukit Batok, Queensway and Bukit Merah. The other line, Seletar Line, is set to cover Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang West, Serangoon North, Kallang, Whampoa and the Greater Southern Waterfront.  There’s also a possibility that these two rail lines will connect at the Greater Southern Waterfront.  READ MORE Muji Singapore opens first Northeast outlet at Punggol Coast Mall, with opening promotions and a guided nature walk It’s confirmed: Blue Bottle Coffee will open its first café in Singapore at Raffles City This new park in Tampines has a nature playground, children’s cycling track and dog run

The Westies have Jurong Lake Gardens, while the Easties have Tampines Eco Green. Now, with the fully completed Tampines Boulevard Park, perhaps the East side really is the best side.

The east side comprises a nature playground with swing sets and wooden steppers for the little ones to hop across, a 1,200-sqm fenced dog run where dogs can run free and a fitness area that’s shaded by trees.  Photograph: NParks The west section is where you’ll find a dragon-shaped slide, balancing log beams, and a mini rock climbing area. Build sandcastles with your little ones at the sand play area that’s inspired by the old Tampines sand quarries, or mosey over to the Elevated Garden, home to butterflies, bees, and birds.  Photograph: NParks There’s another fitness corner on the west section too and a 60m colourful cycling track designed for kids to pedal around. Surrounding the park are rocky bioswales that collect and distribute rainwater to the park, so park users need not worry about potential flooding during rainy seasons.  READ MORE The new Mandai Boardwalk is now open, with views of Singapore Zoo and River Wonders The new Mandai mangrove and Bukit Batok Nature Corridor are set to open in 2028 There’s a new rainforest resort in Singapore where you can stay in a treehouse amidst nature

Our tiny but mighty country continues to prove that size doesn’t matter – from being a favourite foodie destination to having stellar hotels and one of the best airlines in the world. And here’s the latest crowning moment: Singapore has just been named the fourth best destination in the world for solo female travellers.  A recent study by the scuba website DIPNDIVE rated major tourist destinations by analysing the country’s safety levels, accommodation prices, cost of living, weather, English proficiency level and the overall hospitality.  According to the report, Singapore ranked second on the safety index with a score of 77.4, after Zagreb, Croatia, which received a score of 78.6. A slight surprise, given that we were previously crowned as the safest city in the world by Forbes Advisor in 2024, but still a healthy score nonetheless.   Our average cost of living unfortunately hit the four-figure sum, at $1,127. For reference, Zagreb’s was $802, Warsaw was $796, and Budapest was $708. Other cities to have hit the thousand mark include New York City ($1,668), Berlin ($1,081), and Helsinki ($1,067).  But we’re focusing on travellers for this list, so hotel costs were also taken into account. On average, it costs $46 per night for a stay at one of Singapore’s cheapest hotels. We’ve also got a good number of free tourist attractions, and a rather high friendliness level of 76.  Here are the best cities for solo female travellers:  Helsinki Zagreb Berlin Singapore Warsaw Chicago

Ardent book lovers are mourning the sad news about the downsizing of Books Kinokuniya’s flagship store and the recent closure of Epigram Coffee Bookshop. But these do not mark the end of physical libraries and bookstores in Singapore. For readers who appreciate the act of flipping actual pages (and that nostalgic ‘old book smell’), here’s a space worth bookmarking –  the new fantasy and science fiction pop-up library at Tampines Changkat Community Club.  Step inside the pop-up library and you’ll be transported to a world of floating islands and flying dragons – we’re talking about the library’s fantasy-themed wallpaper, if that wasn’t clear. You’ll find the library nestled on the third floor of the CC, open daily from now till February 22, 2026. The National Library Board has shared that an extension might be possible depending on public response.  Bookworms can look forward to over 5,000 popular fantasy and sci-fi titles – with 500 in Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil – as well as a collection of eBooks. Titles include Fourth Wing, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Ready Player Two, and Dune Messiah. Little ones can also dip their toes in the genre and browse nearly 1,000 kid-friendly books.  Singaporeans are allowed to loan up to 16 physical books and 16 eBooks each time. Since the pop-up library is fully self-service, you’ll need to download the NLB Mobile app to borrow the books.  The pop-up library is located at 13 Tampines Street 11, Tampines Changkat Community Club, #03-01,

When leisure park ORTO in Yishun was shut down in 2023, many tenants including BBK Bistro and Bar were relocated – but the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum stood strong and remained open. Sadly, the museum’s owner has announced that authorities have requested for it to vacate by the end of February 2025.  Photograph: Live Turtle Museum Singapore Owner Connie Tan announced the museum's closure in a TikTok video on January 27, 2025, where she shared that the museum happens to be smack in the centre of a construction site related to redevelopment projects in the vicinity. The museum will remain open until February 28, 2025 so you’ll want to plan a trip there soon for your last-ever visit.  The new location and re-opening dates have not been confirmed, but Connie hopes that the museum will be up and running again in June or July this year.  Photograph: Live Turtle Museum Singapore For those who’ve never been to the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum, it’s more than just an animal park – it’s a sanctuary to many rare turtles and tortoises like the alligator turtle, radiated tortoise, sulcate tortoise, pig nose flying turtle, and Malaysia giant river turtle, some of which have been rescued. You’ll also find an array of turtle-themed artefacts here, from giant turtle stone statues to tiny tortoise souvenirs collected by the owner’s family from around the world. In fact, the museum holds a Guinness World Record for the largest collection of turtle and tortoise items.  Most of the gia

Singapore’s got the best of both worlds when it comes to transportation – our public transport system was ranked second best in Asia in 2023, and we’ve got a variety of ride-hailing companies to pick from. The list of options just got longer as there’s a new ride-hailing platform in town – Geolah.  The newest contender in town launched a beta trial for one of its ride services back in 2023, and users shared that Geolah offered relatively lower prices compared to other ride-hailing apps. Geolah’s founder shared in a 2023 interview that the platform does not impose any commission fees for drivers, giving the company an edge over other ride-hailing platforms that charge up to 20 percent commission fees.  Additionally, Geolah’s fares are calculated based on the type of service, distance travelled, and driver availability only. This means that an increase in demand from riders will not affect the price, and users can expect consistent fares despite peak hours and rainy weather.  Geolah was subsequently granted a provisional license from the Land Transport Authority in 2024, leading to its public launch today. These are the ride services available currently: AnyGeo – four seats  GeoCar XL – six seats (economy option) GeoCar VIP – six seats (premium option) GeoAirport – four seats and three small luggage GeoAirport XL – five seats and four mid-sized luggage GeoKids – four seats, for children between 1-metre to 1.35-metres  GeoKids XL – six seats, for children between 1-metre to 1.3
