i like going to coney island - i stay in sengkang, just 30 minutes from my home. sometimes i sneak out at 7am, and just sit at the ocean steps. when i have time, i'll make a whole day of it -some light food, a book, picnic!
This sounds like a dream xx
Such a lovely chilled vibes video. Makes me miss Singapore so much! I used to love to go to the Southern Ridges and then the Botanical Gardens of course too!
Thank you - it brought back some memories from my first visit to Singapore. I got very hot, and also badly bitten (insects) - because the park is in central Singapore I hadn't bothered with insect repellent! I also remember the Artisan's Garden in the park, which (IIRC) is the last vestige of the original 14th century Malay royal palace complex, and the garden tells something of that history. I saw a class of maybe 8-year olds who had been brought there as part of their schooling, and seeing their teacher explaining to them, in several languages, what it was about.
30 years ago, we used to play a game of squash at Fort Canning every week. I think that building 3:13 used to have rows of squash courts. We didnt realised back then that there is a tunnel, otherwise we would have explored a little bit. But those days the place was quite gloomy and we didnt have internet and CZcams to rouse our interest. 😄😄😄
The bamboo grove located at the end of gardens by the bay is the best in my opinion. Pretty secluded without much crowd, zen- like atmosphere and the lighting at night is absolutely to die for! It brings me straight back to Arashiyama.....
Full marks to you Georgia for venturing out to the parks in the Singapore heat. ( you must be mad). I am afraid the weather takes all the fun and relaxation out of the enjoyment of the beautiful surrounds, yes with 10C lower would be very pleasant! I grew up in Singapore and I find it extremely challenging to venture out to a park due to the heat. The only park I have been to is the Botanic gardens 5 years ago, very green and beautiful but I was so so hot it was 😜.
Oh wow I never knew something like that existed in Singapore. That little water pool at 1:42 just transports you to Bali. Lovely to watch :)
OMG, you did it. I've never walked up there before because of the heat. Singapore was part of Malaya which was colonised by the Portuguese, followed by the Dutch and finally the British. The British left a deep heritage in this region especially it's style of governance, education and culture. The fork and spoon eating came from the Brits; before that it was hands from banana leaves or china/chopsticks. The largest historical trading port in the past was Melaka (Malacca),approx 2.5 hours drive from Singapore, in light traffic. If you visit there, you'll find lots of past remnants of the 3 colonials.
In Singapore, you can find lots of British colonial bungalows and street names in Seletar 'camp' Airport/Aerospace. Most of these are government reverted properties for rental, after there British left Singapore. You'll need a bike or car to roam around Seletar (yuge area). It was a large army camp and had a vibrant flying school there in the late 1970s and was a favourite expat community housing estate. It's guaranteed to make you nostalgic about England in summer (heatwave?).

The good time to go there or any park or beaches is 7am to 9am or 5pm to 7pm. It is a bonus if the day is cloudy and windy or just when there is light drizzle. After the rain showers can be good too provided the sun is not shining and when the sun shines it gets humid. Wear a loose t shirt, bring your shades and a hat along. If we are lucky Sg could get 23 degree temperature in December. So enjoy
Good job surviving the heat! Glad to see you having fun. It's important to take time out for nature in the concrete jungle we live in these days.
WOW!!! BEAUTIFUL PLACE AT FORT CANNNING PARK
There is an underground bunker up there that the Brits used as a command centre during the battle of Malaya, 1941-1942.
Thanks for the tour of fort canning. Hahaha...that's cute you sliding down the slides!
Haha loved it
Our open air Singapore national theater and fort canning aquarium was located right here.
You should try hiking from macritchie reservoir to bukit Batok (walking), it is amazing how ulu (remote) the jungle trail is!! It took me several hours and I really enjoyed the peaceful trail because literally not many people hike it!!
It took me 3 hrs to hike 14km from Bukit Panjang to Macritchie Reservoir. Start very early in the morning to avoid the hot sun.
There used to be out door mini concerts and plays in the evenings on the green pasture in fort canning park
You can bring your own food and have a fun time there.
slipknot, a day to remember
Yah I went to the outdoor cinema once :)
Just remember, if you're here with your kids during the hot season unlike now where it is considered cool, touch the slides to check if it's hot.
*Traumatic memories of going down the hot slide as a toddler flashes*
I used to live close to the park and we often went there late in the evenings. As a bird lover, tracing the nightjars was my high point. What felt eerie initially, felt so calming after regular visits.
The trees were stupendous. Maybe you could do a morning walk from MacRitchie Reservoir to the Singapore Island Country Club?
This vlog was really beautiful I liked the history highlights
I love going to parks and spending time in nature but I sadly don't do it often in Singapore because of the hot and humid weather.
I think nature can really touches one's heart and feels relax! Absolute enjoy your walk thru in Fort Canning! Its beautiful!
Would like to recommend you Lower Peirce Reservoir if you have not been there before, I love the peaceful nature there.
My fav is to walk along the trees covered path at macritchie and walk all the way to bukit timah and end my walk with a nunsongyee bingsu! U shld try it. It's not that warm because of the trees.
Oh yes, I have seen that shot so many times...and I am not even from Singapore. Very popular!
You chose a beautiful day to explore Fort Canning! ❤️ Missing Bali too...
that looks so nice. i wanna go there ~ thanks for the tour
Fort Canning a.k.a. Bukit Larangan is a gem....So glad you covered it here no matter the heat and with mask on! Well done Georgia :)
Beautiful gardens. Have you been to Jurong Lake gardens on the outskirts, they are amazing too.
Fort Canning was definitely one of my fave place when I lived there
Thanks for this vid.. Fort Canning was always my getaway spot when I was living in Singapore so it's great seeing it again! Last time i was there they were only beginning with the whole "renovation" and looking at it now it seems amazing :)
I love the tour you did thank u so much for the tour
Cool! Enjoy your for canning adventures! I was there 6mths ago and i will get my folks there again! Such a nice scenic park and really nice place! But must go on a cool cloudy day and you will not want to go home!
I hope you get to visit The Oval @ Seletar Aerospace Park soon! Many old colonial bungalows/houses there to pique your fancy
Fab I’ll try check it out :)
Upper Pierce reservoir is very pretty. Along the way there’s a small bridge and a small path next to a small canal will lead you to Lower Pierce reservoir (about 200m) the view there stunning.
You may like to check it out.
Singapore Quarry in Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is a beautiful place as well.
Thanks for the video. Pls keep them coming.
i remember when i went there 5 years ago my friend was freaked out with lots of spirits around, and wow its changed from then, thats singapore, never stagnant a must revisit for me, thanks for sharing.
Maybe next, you can visit colbar. It’s was a canteen that served the British army in the past! The canteen has been restored and it is currently serves family and friends! You can take a bus from one north mrt station!
Thank you for giving us a tour! Would love to visit there with my friends one day. I think you went on the perfect day because it seems there aren’t a lot of people 😝
Stayed in the Fort Canning Hotel four years ago, nice ! Didn't explore the park until last year, November. I hiked in via the Peninsula shpping centre, which leads to a massive "staircase of doom" ...ha ha. Good fun climbing that in the midday heat. 1:43 - The fountains with the playing kids in your video were deserted and soo peaceful. Never found the spiral staircase - nor your fave Bali corner (8:43). Good to see places I enjoyed and a few new ones!! So close to City Hall and yet so calm. :)
Wow it looks stunning 🤩, thank you Georgia!
Hehehehe i found yesterday Balinese gate or Majapahit gate located on Sang Nila Utama Garden, Fort Canning. Actually the original gate called "Wringin Lawang" located in East Java, Mojokerto 70 km from Surabaya. Happy weekend 😀❤️
Apart from her exploring the beautiful scenery of Fort Canning, that "Woohoo!" was actually adorable 😂
Current Canadian PM’s ancestor gravestone is at fort canning as well.
Your vids always made my day!
Hi Georgia! Love your videos!
You should make a visit to Changi Village at the eastern end of Singapore. It has a different vibe compared to the rest of Singapore. Laid back, near the beach and relaxing. Weekends tend to be crowded so a weekday visit is better.
Another interesting location is Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserves in Kranji. Interesting place to see wildlife and mangroves. You can see all types of birds, crocodiles, lizards etc. Don't worry, the Reserve is very safe and easy to walk. The trees will give you plenty of shade.
Wow! I must visit there. It's change so much.
Love this episode, thanks!
Maybe you can consider bringing along a small thermal flask packed with ice cubes? Have you been to Winsor Nature Park?
I really like Fort Canning Park, I think it is my favourite park in Singapore
Try cycling in Pulau Ubin and visit Chek Jawa!
Wow, you went to places there that I'd not been to before! Cool :D
It's usually hot in the morning till arnd noon..and it will rain heavily in the evening...
beautiful place! thanks for introducing!
No problem :)
Looks great! I'm coming to Singapore for work in January, and literally found your channel by searching "running singapore". I would love to chat about do's and don'ts and would appreciate any tips, thanks for taking us all along and giving me ideas!
Bukitima reserve might be good. Also rifle range road entering from Hua Guan Ave.
Have you been to Jurong Lake Gardens?
For real nature and getting up
close to wildlife, you must visit Sungei Buloh Nature Reserve.
You’re the best!
hi georgia i really like your cafe hoping + visiting random hipster coffee / book stores in hidden areas of sg!! hope u do more of those
Actually S'pore got a lot of scenic places to explore even though it's a tiny island.
Nice video, enjoyed it.
Have you been to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve?
Yep!
My fave park is still Botanic Garden
Hello nice video. Keep on vlogging ❤️
Oh, i love fort canning park😍😍😍😍i wish i could go to Singapore now😢 but this corona... messes everything up... i love Jurong bird park, please make a video in it🙏🏼
Hi guys are we can picnic and sitting down on the garden???
Perfect for a game of Cricket!!!
I wishhh i could find the rocking motion relaxing!!! I cant stay 1 min on a swing without feeling sick(((
They packed a lot of things in that small park.
Is it difficult to get to?
Oh this place used to be my morning walk

Hello, I would like to ask a question for the next time you have a Q&A vlog. I noticed in several Singaporean tourist videos, (and some of the residential areas too) one does not see individuals in wheelchairs or anyone on crutches etc. How does Singapore handle the disabled in public? Many Thanks
Thank you for sharing...
My goodness, haven't been to Fort Canning in years. Thanks for that! :)
Impressive
Been there two days ago and end up with blister on my foot 😅😅😅 only managed to explore half 😂😂😂
lol my only memory of going to this park is that I got absolutely annihilated by mosquitos
Thanks Georgia. Now I know at least one place where I can use my 100 dollar tourism voucher.
wut? There's nothing to spend your $100 voucher on in that Park!
Macritchie Reservoir is a lot cooler.
I like sitting at sea side, nothing to do, just enjoy air, sea, people
Awe u dressed cute

Am affraid this vlog will be an iPhone review channel. 😆
