Singapore is a lively cosmopolitan city in the hearth of Southeast Asia brimming with vibrant culture and landscapes. Specks of bright emerald dot the country’s cityscape, infusing the concrete jungle with bursts of life. Visitors to Singapore would best experience the city’s green and scenic sights from the city centre at an exquisite orchard road hotel Singapore is famous for. The Orchard Hotel Singapore is a quality Singapore hotel, serving up stylish interiors and 5 star amenities to truly pamper its guests. If you want a break from the concrete jungle proper, Singapore serves up a fine range of parks and green spaces affording you spaciousness of mind, body and spirit. An excellent park offering situated by a beachfront is the Sembawang Park, a serene natural locale in northern Singapore facing the Joring straits. The beachfront of the park is one of the few remaining natural beaches of Singapore and it affords fantastic fishing opportunities for anglers of all stripes. Singapore’s naval history has interesting links to the park, with the presence of the Beaulieu House, the Sembawang Jetty and the historic remains of the Seletar Pier from the 1920s, which are select snapshots into the country’s impressive past. The walking paths that snake through the park are restored old path ways that were used during the British occupation so literally take steps back in time when you take a walk in the park! Sembawang Park also boasts other significant monuments of the country’s past, such as the Admiralty House, Kampong Wak Hassan, Masjid Petempatan Melayu Sembawang and the Sembawang Memorial. So if you would like to stroll or jog through the paths winding around the lush greenery, try your hand at some fishing or enjoy an afternoon barbeque with friends and family, Sembawang Park is the place for you.
