On an island so tiny yet densely populated by soaring buildings and iconic architecture<\/a>, it\u2019s hard to believe some parts of the city remain wonderfully undiscovered (or rarely visited). We\u2019ve got cafes<\/a>, bars<\/a> and restaurants<\/a> squirrelled away in quiet \u2018hoods. Plus, hideaways so far off the beaten track, you won\u2019t find them in typical travel guides. Ready for Singapore\u2019s best hidden places and secret spots? Here’s what you\u2019ll need: your GPS, a ride and a sense of adventure. But take precautions because some places aren\u2019t on the map and may be risky to wander through, while others are closed to visitors (at least you know they exist!).<\/p>\n

Cool hidden places in Singapore<\/h2>\n

1. Yunnan Garden<\/h3>\n

Journey to the far west of Singapore and check out this sprawling garden within Nanyang Technological University. Yes, the journey may be intimidating, but it’s worth it. Built in the 1950s, Yunnan Garden is home to the Chinese Heritage Centre, where you can learn more about Chinese culture. On top of that, there are picturesque pavilions, a waterfall, and lush greenery. You’ll feel like you’ve been transported to ancient China the minute you step foot here.

2. Ang Mo Kio Linear Park<\/h3>\n

Even though this neighbourhood already has two well-known parks, you should take note of this green space too. Located along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5, the recreational park is designed to bring the community closer together. The undulating terrain is retained as a tribute to the linear park’s rubber estate past. It’s a nice, tranquil space to get your steps in and be one with nature.

3. Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery<\/h3>\n

As one of the biggest Buddhist temples<\/a> in Singapore, Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery’s beautiful architecture makes it a must-visit spot. It’s located within the quiet neighbourhood of Bright Hill and is one of the most renowned monasteries in Southeast Asia. Past the grand entrance, there’s an institute for Sangha’s higher Buddhist education with BA and MA programmes. If you need a tranquil spot for a short walk, visit the garden and koi pond.

4. Pearl’s Hill City Park<\/h3>\n

This beauty of a nature haven sits not too far from the bustling streets of Chinatown<\/a>. It’s perched atop a hill and built around a reservoir, so you’ll have to climb a few flights of stairs to enjoy its tranquillity. The water body, adorned with lotuses, is home to fish and terrapins. Named after Captain James Pearl, who commanded the ship that brought Raffles to Singapore, it also houses relics from the colonial era. This hidden gem is the perfect spot for a peaceful day amidst greenery.

5. Japanese Cemetery Park<\/h3>\n
Discovering the largest Japanese cemetery in Southeast Asia is an eerie beauty.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Built in 1891, the Japanese Cemetery Park (the largest in Southeast Asia) is tucked away in Hougang<\/a>. It\u2019s prettier than it is scary with pink floral archways reminiscent of sakura season in Japan<\/a>. Serving as a burial ground for nearly 1,000 Japanese civilians and soldiers from pre-war years, this hidden place has strangely turned into one of Singapore’s IG-friendly spots. But while you pose for the \u2018gram, please be mindful of the graves.

6. Raffles Marina Lighthouse<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s not every day that you encounter a lighthouse in Singapore\u2019s cityscape. Head straight to the pier, where the Johor Straits Lighthouse awaits at the edge, overlooking the Tuas Second Link bridge. Built in 1994, this 12m-high beacon is a marvel to behold. Later, walk around the luxe Raffles Marina Club and stroll along the promenade, taking in the sea breeze and gorgeous views. Don\u2019t forget (or pretend) to live the high life with an #ootd amongst the many yachts docked at the marina.

7. Fort Serapong<\/h3>\n

A hidden hilltop fort in Sentosa<\/a>? Who would\u2019ve thought! Past the restaurants, attractions, and tourist hordes, this military complex is a sprawling one with tunnels and bunkers galore. With origins from the 1870s, the untouched ruins once had their glorious moment during WWII as one of the four major batteries on the island. Now, Mother Nature has engulfed this secret spot as one of her own. So proceed with care making your way through the overgrown jungle. Psst: curious individuals are encouraged to join a guided tour as areas are off-limits to the public.

8. Hampstead Wetlands Park<\/h3>\n

For a green day out in the north, lace up your walking shoes and head to this undisturbed nature spot at Seletar<\/a> Aerospace Park. Featuring boardwalks, view decks and a trail for adventurers to admire the area\u2019s flora and fauna, the untouched sanctuary is home to butterflies, dragonflies and even birds like the white-throated kingfisher.
\nHampstead Wetlands Park<\/a>, 1 Baker Street, Singapore 799977<\/em><\/p>\n

9. Wessex Estate<\/h3>\n

Once a British Army base built in the 1930s and 1940s, these black-and-white colonial buildings surrounded by lush greens now house numerous art studios and galleries. For a blast to the past, spend a day hopping from place to place and chat with various artists who will spin an interesting story or two. Psst: for a quick pick-me-up at this secret spot, stop by the ultra-retro Colbar for a no-frills meal of Western food and coffee.

10. Istana Woodneuk<\/h3>\n

Looking for a hidden place in Singapore that’s haunted<\/a>? Tucked away in the woods, near the Holland Road and Tyersall Road area, Istana Woodneuk aka Woodneuk House is formerly owned by a Sultan of Johor. Now covered by vegetation after a century of being empty, the haunted place is out of bounds to outsiders. You won\u2019t find it charted on any modern maps of Singapore. As with all abandoned houses, this one comes with creepy sightings and the like. But you could say it\u2019s the decay and deterioration of the house that\u2019s scarier than anything else. (Disclaimer: although abandoned, this area is under close surveillance and trespassers can be fined. Instead, you can admire the ruins from afar.)

11. Marsiling WWII Tunnel & Naval Base<\/h3>\n

History buffs, head this way. The city\u2019s stash of former military bases and old underground tunnels are intriguing to explore if you know where to look. This abandoned war site, nesting in the thick Marsiling jungle, was once a fuel pitstop for the British Royal Air Force and, later on, the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. To spot the bunker, look out for the rope hanging at its cramped entrance.

12. Coney Island<\/h3>\n

By now, you\u2019ve probably been to Coney Island<\/a>, but did you know the park is home to hidden white sand beaches? Access is closest to Punggol Ranch. So if you\u2019re entering via the main gates, take your time to explore the grounds. Budding botanists with keen eyes should look out for several rare plant species that are presumed to be extinct in mainland Singapore. The island also serves as a refuge for migratory birds, so wildlife enthusiasts may want to pack a camera and a zoom lens.

13. Tanjong Rimau<\/h3>\n

In an island that\u2019s been thoroughly reconstructed, stumbling upon a raw, hidden place in Singapore is cause for celebration (and a thousand photos, of course). The last remaining undeveloped Sentosa coastline along Singapore\u2019s western tip boasts mangrove trails, large rocks and even secret, tiny caves. You\u2019ll want to spend a day out in the sun to explore this quiet area.

14. Former Queen\u2019s Theatre<\/h3>\n

A major attraction that debuted in the early 1930s, this landmark screened all kinds of movies, including Indonesian and Egyptian ones. It eventually shuttered in 1982, and the site is now home to Grandlink Square, but you can still catch sight of the old theatre\u2019s facade from Lorong 44.

15. Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve<\/h3>\n

Singapore\u2019s first wetland reserve is home to myriad riverine species including water monitors, mudskippers and, if you\u2019re really lucky (or unlucky), the ferocious estuarine crocodile. If you happen to be trekking through the park\u2019s many trails during the migratory season, you\u2019ll see flocks of shorebirds like sandpipers and plovers.

16. Kampong Lorong Buangkok<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wanted to go back in time to Singapore\u2019s former provincial life, Kampong Lorong Buangkok<\/a> is the best place to do that. Located off Sengkang East Avenue, the rural site has been around since 1956 and is currently the last surviving village on Singapore\u2019s main island. At this tranquil throwback to the past, life seems to come to a standstill. Take note, though: the place still houses over 20 families, so do your best to leave it undisturbed. Redevelopment is in the works, but plans won\u2019t be put into place for a few decades.

17. Syonan Jinja<\/h3>\n

You may have spent countless mornings at MacRitchie Reservoir sweating it out. But did you know there\u2019s actually a Shinto shrine deep in the forest? Constructed sometime between 1942 and 1943, it’s a commemoration of the Japanese soldiers who died in Malaya during World War II. However, when the Japanese were defeated in 1945, they destroyed the structure, fearing that British soldiers would desecrate it. Even though nature has taken over through the decades, you can still see certain elements of the historic site. But do keep in mind that this secret spot is entirely off the designated trail, so the public can’t access it and will be fined for doing so.

18. Smith Marine Floating Kelong Restaurant<\/h3>\n

Set sail to a seaside hangout for a fresh seafood meal on the waters at this old school restaurant. Located between Pulau Ubin<\/a> and Changi Point ferry terminal, it\u2019s a short bumboat ride from the jetty. Escape from the city for a day and spend time out on the open sea. Entertain yourselves with complimentary pool tables, carrom boards, and other board games. And the highlight is definitely the food. You get to devour the freshest seafood with the set menus, from steamed scallops with garlic, sambal mussels, and even lala beehoon.

19. Bollywood Farms<\/h3>\n

A city girl\u2019s best bet for a serene farm<\/a> break is the modest Bollywood Farms (formerly Bollywood Veggies<\/a>). Nestled in the Kranji countryside, it boasts a rustic farm-to-table bistro, Poison Ivy. The organic farm also hosts culinary classes, hands-on horticultural programmes and tours. We love a good wander through the greenery!
