Mandai Forest Reservoir Park 

Mandai Forest Reservoir Park sits just a hop away from Bird Paradise, and it’s a must for anyone who just can’t get enough of Singapore’s wild side. Framed by thick forest and cool, reflective waters, the park’s trails are made for peaceful walks, jogs, or simply sitting on a bench birdwatching in the shade—without the need for tickets or time limits. 

Come early and let the hush of the reservoir clear your head, or visit closer to sunset for a golden-hour stroll with water views peeking through lush greenery. Wildlife is everywhere—spot herons and kingfishers along the edge or monitor lizards sunning themselves on rocks. Fitness stations and quiet pavilions add extra perks. Best of all, the park never feels crowded, so you can claim your own corner of Mandai serenity for free. 

Kranji Marshes 

Kranji Marshes is one of Singapore’s best-kept secrets for lovers of the outdoors, offering a uniquely tranquil escape just a short drive from Bird Paradise. The reserve sprawls across freshwater marshland dotted with viewing towers, reed-lined boardwalks, and shady benches. It’s a paradise for photographers and anyone hoping to spot rare butterflies, dragonflies, or wild otters along the trails. 

Birdwatchers especially flock here—the park’s towers offer epic views of flitting bee-eaters and eagles overhead. Families will love the adventure of crossing rustic bridges and seeing creatures up close from the many hides. The whole space has a gentle, let’s-go-exploring vibe, perfect for winding down after a day spent at Bird Paradise. Entry is free, so bring snacks, water, and a spirit of discovery. 

Woodlands Waterfront Park 

For wide open spaces and sweeping sea views, Woodlands Waterfront Park is a brilliant choice. It’s about fifteen minutes by car from Bird Paradise and promises a breezy escape with a couple of unexpected highlights—including one of Singapore’s longest coastal boardwalks, perfect for strolls and skyline snaps. 

Families and cyclists love this park for its roomy lawns and play areas, but the real star is the 1.5km jetty stretching over the Johor Strait. Come to catch sunset over the water, spot Malaysia’s distant lights, or simply watch cargo ships go by as you enjoy the salty breeze. There are plenty of shaded shelters, scenic lookouts, and quirky fitness corners—making it a zero-cost, zero-fuss addition to your Mandai day out. 

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

Step into a living wildlife documentary at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, just north of Bird Paradise and always free to enter. Nature lovers will be in heaven, wandering through mangrove forests on raised wooden walkways and gazing out over mudflats teeming with crabs, giant monitor lizards, and grazing otters. 

Don’t miss the bird hides and observation pods: grab your binoculars for a chance to spot migratory shorebirds, herons, and even crocodiles lazing in the sun (from a very safe distance!). Friendly rangers are often around to answer questions. Whether you’re here for a meditative morning or an early evening adventure, Sungei Buloh is proof that some of Singapore’s wildest wonders come with no price tag attached. 

Bukit Batok Town Park (Little Guilin) 

Swap rainforest for dramatic rockscape with a visit to Bukit Batok Town Park—better known to locals as Little Guilin. This hidden gem features a granite quarry lake surrounded by towering stone cliffs, conjuring up images of China’s famous Guilin Mountains—minus the airfare. 

Stroll the winding paths, rest under soaring trees, and keep your camera handy for postcard-perfect shots of the shimmering lake against sheer rock faces. It’s a tranquil, unique spot for reflection or a romantic walk, just a quick cab or bus ride from Mandai. With no entrance fee and plenty of shady spots to linger, Little Guilin is a photogenic detour every Singapore visitor should know about. 

Marsiling Park 

Just north of Mandai, Marsiling Park is the definition of an underrated neighbourhood retreat. Newly revamped, the park has modern boardwalks winding through peaceful lotus ponds, whimsical animal sculptures, and plenty of open space where local families picnic, jog, or watch the world go by under giant rain trees. 

Kids love clambering over the wooden playground, while adults relax at the peaceful lakeside pavilions. The park’s winding paths are great for both brisk walks and lazy ambles, with lots of birdlife to spot along the way. If you like your parks quiet, green, and full of pleasant surprises, Marsiling is a winner. 

Rail Corridor (Northern Section)

Rail Corridor

Love heritage vibes as much as hiking? The northern section of Singapore’s Rail Corridor lets you walk, jog, or cycle along the route of the old Keretapi Tanah Melayu railway, surrounded by secondary jungle and a chorus of birdsong. The stretch near Mandai is especially peaceful, with restored bridges and interpretive panels that tell the story of Singapore’s train days. 

Along the way you’ll stumble across wildflowers, tunnels, and even the occasional friendly hornbill overhead. The path is mostly flat and easy to navigate, making it a favourite with families and anyone wanting an immersive, cost-free taste of Singapore history and green space combined. 

Bollywood Veggies’ Free Garden Walk 

Head into the Kranji Countryside and discover Bollywood Veggies, a working organic farm that welcomes day trippers for self-guided strolls through fruit orchards, veggie patches, and wildflower gardens. While some activities here carry a fee, the main garden walk is open to all for free—just sign in at the entrance and grab a map. 

The laid-back, slightly quirky ambience is all part of the fun; look out for scarecrows and art installations made from recycled farm tools. Spot frogs, butterflies, and a colourful cast of local birds while getting lost among banana trees and papaya vines. It’s the closest you’ll get to farm life in Singapore, and the fresh air (plus veggie garden inspiration) costs nothing at all. 

Kranji War Memorial 

If you appreciate quiet history and poignant stories, don’t miss the serene grounds of Kranji War Memorial. This beautifully maintained hillside cemetery honours thousands of Allied troops who gave their lives during World War II. With its geometric rows of white headstones, peaceful lawns, and sweeping views towards the Straits of Johor, the space invites calm reflection. 

Wander respectfully through the gardens, gaze at the memorial walls, and take a moment to read about Singapore’s wartime past at the information panels. The site has a tranquil dignity that stays with you long after you leave, making it a moving and memorable (and always free) stop near Bird Paradise. 

The Animal Resort 

If you want a hands-on animal fix after Bird Paradise, The Animal Resort is a nostalgic throwback to the kampong days just a bit further afield. This spot opens its doors to the public for a charming, no-frills encounter with free-roaming geese, ducks, rabbits, and even a resident horse. Families and animal lovers alike wander shady grounds, soaking up the chill, friendly vibe. 

Feeding animals comes with a small charge, but simply walking the lanes and watching the animals do their thing costs nothing. Kids can run wild in the country-style setting, while adults revisit a slice of old-school Singapore—perfect for a unique, wallet-friendly detour. 

 

Bird Paradise might be the highlight, but it’s just one part of what Mandai has to offer! From peaceful parks and marshes to rural corners and historic spots, there’s plenty nearby to explore for free. It’s proof that a great day out in northern Singapore doesn’t have to come with a big price tag.

Singapore in July

As Singapore’s peak holiday season draws to a gentle close, July sees a slight let-up in the number of vacationers that have been thronging the hot, sticky streets for the last couple of months. But, while the crowds may have dissipated somewhat, the searing temperatures and frequent downpours of the southwest monsoon season show few signs of abating. Read on for the lowdown on what to expect when visiting Singapore in July. Visiting Singapore in July Temperature: 75–88°F • Average Rainfall: 19 days/month • Average Sunshine: 8 hours/day You’ll want to pack an umbrella along with your factor 50 for trips to Singapore in July. Thunderstorms and heavy downpours are absolutely guaranteed at this time of year, but what’s difficult to predict is when you might be about to get caught in one. A small umbrella in your backpack is the number one hack for such eventualities along with, ideally, rubber sandals or similarly waterproof footwear. In fact, most of July’s rain storms tend to arrive after dark, but afternoon showers are also still highly likely. Don’t forget loose-fitting cotton and linen clothes, too. Synthetics are a big no-no in these temperatures, unless of course you actively enjoy the feeling of polyester trousers clinging damply to your sweaty knees, in which case: you do you. Broad, floppy hats, UV sunglasses and a big water bottle should also be considered essential if you’re planning to do a lot of outdoor sightseeing. And, while there’s loads you’ll want to see and do that require you to be exposed to the sun, we’d advise mixing it up with a bit of air-conditioned action indoors, perhaps spending cooler mornings (after the nightly rainfall) ticking off the outdoor must-sees, before hitting the malls, hawker centers, museums and immersive attractions before the afternoon heat really starts to bite. Things to do in Singapore in July Singapore is a haven for all manner of wildlife. It’s not unusual, for example, to see traffic grind to a halt to allow a family of otters to cross the road, or to be deafened by the sound of thousands of roosting myna birds as you stroll beneath the trees that line the Orchard Road in the early evening. Sultry Singapore mornings in July are a great time to experience some of this garden island’s vibrant flora and fauna up close. Rent a bike to explore one of the many traffic-free routes that weave through wetlands, woodlands, nature reserves and more. The Rail Corridor – stretching from Chinatown all the way north to Kranji – is among the very best: 24 kilometers of rewilded railway line, along which you might well encounter monitor lizards, flying lemurs and colorfully crested bulbuls. A little over halfway along the route, you can take a diversion into Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, where an epic 400 acres of tropical rainforest awaits the intrepid explorer. There’s an even more varied bunch of critters to be found here beneath the canopy, among them reticulated pythons, macaques and endangered Sunda pangolins. The reserve is also home to the highest hill in Singapore. Rising to over 500 feet, it’s a moderately challenging climb that takes around an hour and rewards hikers with awesome 360-degree views across the treetops to the city beyond. The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve on Singapore’s northwestern tip is another fine option for wildlife-spotting, particularly for twitchers. Migratory species including the distinctive Pacific golden plover and the long-legged Asian dowitcher have been spotted here, and you might also clock mudskippers, monitor lizards, giant Atlas moths and even the occasional saltwater croc lurking among the mangroves. Take the reserve’s two-hour walking loop to get the most from your visit. Shopping and Dining in Singapore in July Looking for something a little more... indoorsy? The Great Singapore Sale (GSS) is in its final month in July, which makes it a fine time for a spot of air-conditioned retail therapy in Singapore’s mega-malls. Hit up the shopping mecca that is Orchard Road, a string of high-end malls seemingly designed specifically to empty your wallet and fill your home with shiny new gadgets, designer handbags and other expensive knick-knacks. It’s the cheapest time of year to do so as the annual bonanza that is the GSS means whopping great discounts of up to 70% (!!!) at hundreds of participating stores. Meanwhile, in-the-know souvenir hunters head to hip Kampong Glam, where colorful 19th-century shophouses contain no end of chic indie boutiques and Arab Street’s antique emporia yield the kind of unique gifts of which dreams are made. We’re talking hand-woven Turkish textiles, intricate mosaic lanterns, painted ceramics and more. After splashing the cash, tuck into some of the best nasi padang this side of Jakarta in the shadow of the Sultan Mosque, with its iconic golden dome. And if nasi padang and other South Asian favorites like chili crab and sticky peanut satay float your boat and tickle your tastebuds, you’re in luck! With over 100 hawker centers to choose from, you’re never far from your next plate of delicious, affordable street food in Singapore. Better still, many centers are now air-conditioned, meaning you get a little respite from the soaring temperatures outside, albeit you may end up pretty hot under the collar anyway, as you dive into spicy bowls of sambal-laced laksa, zingy chili crab (the national dish, no less) or red-hot rendang curries. Cool off with a refreshing glass of bandung - a sweet (and highly Instagrammable) cocktail of condensed milk and rose syrup served over ice. Yum! And, if you’re feeling particularly bold and adventurous on your July visit to Singapore, why not give some of the nation’s most out-there delicacies a spin. We’re talking pufferfish, fried pigs’ fallopian tubes in kung pao sauce and – very much for the non-squeamish – still-wriggling octopus tentacles that will, we kid you not, cling to your chopsticks and even your tongue in a bid to escape their fate.

Things to do in Kampong Glam

One of Singapore’s hippest ‘hoods, Kampong Glam is an Instagrammer’s dream, all colorful 19th-century shophouses, cute cafés, chic boutiques, vibrant street art and heritage grandeur. Take a stroll along this buzzy district’s atmospheric lanes with us as we take a deep dive into the coolest things to do in Kampong Glam. Kampong Glam and How to Get There Once ruled by super-wealthy Malay sultans, Kampong Glam is known as Singapore’s Muslim district, its magnificent 200-year-old gold-domed mosque a gleaming beacon above the labyrinth of streets and alleys that surround it. The sultans may have long since departed but this treasure trove of heritage buildings, eye-popping street art and beautiful Peranakan buildings in sunset reds, lime greens and turmeric yellows still bear a certain regal charm. Being tucked handily between Chinatown and Little India, Kampong Glam is easily walkable – it would take around an hour to stroll east out of Chinatown to Kampong Glam and then onward to Little India. This timeline of course assumes the impossible, i.e. that you won’t be tempted to pause for delicious dumplings, souvenir shopping and perfect photo opportunities along the way. Alternatively, buses serve many nearby roads including Victoria Road and Beach Road, or you can hop on the super-efficient automated MRT metro. The Green Central Line will take you direct to Bugis station, from where it’s a short walk to the heart of the Kampong Glam action. Things to do in Kampong Glam Start your Kampong Glam sightseeing trip with a stroll through the streets, getting an eyeful of the funky street art that adorns nearly every available surface: in Arab Street alleys, on hotel facades, even on the sides of several museums! Look out for works by internationally acclaimed artist Ernest Zacharevic, especially along Victoria Street towards North Bridge Road, and spot pieces by mural maestro Didier ‘Jaba’ Mathieu on Arab Street, the side of the Cuturi Gallery and elsewhere. Muscat Street’s Gelam Gallery takes the theme and runs with it, filling two sides of a narrow back-alley with a technicolor explosion of works from artists including PrettyFreakyFantasy, Liyana Farzana, Helene Le Chatelier and local legend Slacsatu. Of course, no Kampong Glam itinerary would be complete without a visit to the splendid Sultan Mosque, commissioned by the first Sultan of Singapore in the early 19th Century. Its opulent golden dome, ornate parapets and vast prayer hall are among the most admired features, but look out too for the glass bottle ends that decorate the base of each domes, contributed by lower-income Muslim families during the mosque’s construction. The Malay Heritage Centre adds further color to Kampong Glam’s rich history with historical artifacts, interactive exhibitions and occasional cultural performances held inside what was once the royal palace of the Singapore sultans. Or, for something altogether more quirky, mosey over to the Vintage Cameras Museum, where the fascinating collection of over 1,000 cameras dates back as far as the late 19th Century and includes examples of spy cameras and cameras used as weapons during the Second World War. You can’t miss this one: the facade itself is designed to look like a vintage camera and there’s a colorful painting of a camera-toting dude by Singapore artist Ceno2 on the side of the building. Kampong Glam Shops Putting the ‘glam’ in Kampong Glam, Haji Lane is an impossibly narrow lane crammed with cool indie boutiques, cute cafés and hip bars. This is where you’ll find in-the-know Singapore fashionistas shopping the latest styles, while arty types browse for one-off avant garde jewelry pieces. Arab Street and Bussorah Street are where you can explore seemingly timeless antiques stores like Dwiz and Grand Bazaar. These absolute treasure troves of Turkish goods and handicrafts including ceramics, textiles and intricate mosaic lamps are stalwarts of the neighborhood. Meanwhile, you’ll find the most exquisite hand woven antique rugs and carpets in family-run stores including the mighty Samad & Sons and Amir & Sons. Kampong Glam is also a hub for Singapore's best-loved perfume businesses, where oils, unguents, fragrances, balms and more can be bought ready-made or customized to your own personal tastes. Head to Sifr Aromatics’ fabulous laboratory-like emporium on Arab Street to have your own blends of scents created and bottled to take away in delightfully decorative vessels. Royal Fragrances and Aljunied Brothers also merit a stop to sniff and purchase some of their scent-sational products. Ceramics are big business here too, and you’ll find plenty of fine local pottery at Supermama’s on Beach Road. Pick up something blue-tiful from their signature Singapore Blue range of plates, saucers, cups and more and browse the kaleidoscope of other souvenirs including homewares, candles and more. Kampong Glam Restaurants Gourmands rejoice! Kampong Glam is among Singapore’s top foodie destinations, with a deliciously decadent hotch-potch of cuisines to explore, from Malaysian to Indonesian, Swedish to Singaporean. Authentic Indonesian fare is the name of the game at Sari Ratu, an unpretentious eatery on Pahang Street that serves up some of the best nasi padang in Asia, as well as sticky peanut satay, zingy lamb rendang and impossible-to-resist beef tendon curry. Head over to Arab Street’s Fika Swedish Café & Bistro for halal meatballs. Yep, you read that right: enjoy these perfectly moreish meaty treats with roasties and a dollop of lingonberry jam. Cheap and cheerful with street tables in view of the Sultan Mosque, Kampong Glam Cafe serves no-frills Malay favorites to hungry tourists, students and locals. Try curry served with homemade rotis or a warming bowl of mee rebus for the win. Hit up tiny, trendy Brine for French-Japanese fare that includes dishes such as charred cauliflower with hummus, spicy sambal octopus, and braised beef cheeks with couscous. Fans of baked goods will not be disappointed by the Kampong Glam food scene either. Mother Dough is Singapore’s premier purveyor of almond croissants – and not without good reason. Get there early to avoid disappointment. Meanwhile, pop culture mavens will delight at the names of some of the sweet treats to be found at Guilt and The Fabulous Baker Boy. Guilt’s menu of kooky cookies includes the Tinder Surprise, a vanilla choc chip cookie that’s wrapped around a decadent double chocolate fudge brownie with salted caramel. Then there’s the Fifty Shades of Grey with its orgasmic combination of Earl Grey tea, creamy white cocoa butter, pistachios, sea salt and honeycomb toffee. The Fabulous Baker Boy is no slouch in the name game either, with signatures including the very lemony Beyonce (inspired by her Lemonade album, of course) and The Ed Sheeran Carrot Cake, for which no further explanation is necessary.

Best Places to get a Dress Made in Singapore

You know the feeling. You spend ages deliberating over the perfect dress for that big event and then someone else (with whom you inevitably have previous beef) turns up wearing exactly the same thing. Rather than being the belle of the ball, you’re the (red) face of your friends’ ‘who wore it best?’ memes for months afterwards. More deflating than a helium shortage at a foil balloon festival, it’s just about the worst thing that can happen at a party. Well, short of the vol au vents running out before you've even arrived. Solution: create your own party outfit with a little help from Singapore’s top designers and dressmakers. There are dozens of boutiques offering such services across the city, whether you’re in the market for a showstopping cocktail dress, sober interview suit, don’t-upstage-the-bride wedding outfit or classic silk cheongsam. Or, you know, something altogether more outlandish to suit your personality. We’ve rounded up six of the best places to get a dress made in Singapore. Read on for the lowdown... ***Note: all prices quoted are in Singapore Dollars (SGD)*** Time Taken to Make a Dress The very literal name of this couture dressmaker, located on the upper floor of a Kampong Glam shophouse, a stone’s throw from the Sultan Mosque’s glittering golden dome, belies the offbeat nature of designer-owners Letitia Phay and Jade Swee, for whom conformity is a dirty word. Setters of trends rather than followers of fashion, the duo – as the boutique name hints – like to take time over their creations, working closely with their clients to design and produce something spectacular and unique. Just think of them as fairy godmothers to your Cinderella. Be ready to pay more than Cinders could ever afford though: prices can reach five figures, depending on the fabric and level of detailing required, with complex projects taking up to six months to complete. Golden Scissors Cheongsam Looking to dazzle in a cheongsam? Golden Scissors deals exclusively in these traditional, figure-hugging Chinese dresses and has been doing so for four decades, so you can be reasonably sure resident seamstress Madam Li Qiying knows what she’s doing. You’ll find the shop at the towering People’s Park Complex in the heart of Chinatown, where the temptation to fill up on steamed pork dumplings immediately prior to a fitting is to be avoided at all costs. Step inside the boutique to discover a veritable cornucopia of off-the-peg options: beautiful cheongsams in all manner of different shapes, sizes, designs and colors. Pick one of these for a quick and easy win, or have the cheongsam experts rustle up something unique for you. Prices start at less than $100 for simple pre-made cotton designs, rising a little more sharply (but not restrictively so) if you opt for a bespoke silk piece. Bespoke designs are usually ready for collection within a week. Ong Shunmugam Known for their progressive Asian dress designs, Ong Shunmugam has two locations in Singapore: one in atmospheric Kampong Glam and a flagship branch in the trendy Chip Bee Gardens, west of the Botanic Gardens. But you can’t just pitch up at ateliers like these and expect to be allowed inside simply by pressing your nose hopefully against the window. No: fittings in these exclusive boutiques are by appointment only, which has the effect of making you feel simultaneously important and overwhelmingly anxious about how much it's all going to cost. But what price quality? Expect fine materials, meticulous craftsmanship and stellar designs to your precise specifications in exchange for your dollar. You’ll be cash poor but catwalk-ready before you know it. Love, Yu Cutesy name on the outside, serious bridalwear inside, ‘Love, Yu’ is a solid mid-range option for your nuptials, with prices starting from under $3,000 but creeping steadily upwards depending on how flamboyant you want the final product to look. Singaporean designer Eelyn Tang’s signature creations combine modern silhouettes with delicate fabrics such as silk, fine French lace and tulle, but if it’s great jewel-studded fairytale bustles and poofy sleeves that set your heart aflutter, then you can have that too – at a price. Either way, this boutique bridal shop strives to make your vision a reality for a day you and your betrothed will never forget. Jenny & Me Dressmaking Looking to grab a bit of red carpet pizazz without the movie star price tag? Look no further than Jenny Lim’s Holland Village boutique, Jenny & Me, in which the ‘Me’ is in fact... you. The name hints at the kind of personable, personalized experience you can expect here, where friendly service, affordable pricing and decades of dressmaking knowhow has seen Madam Lim become something of a stalwart on Singapore’s sartorial scene. Jenny does men’s clothing too, ideal if you’re looking for his’n’hers outfits that will have you feeling like prom king and queen at whatever party or event you plan to attend together. Lai Chan Goh Lai Chan is another specialist in cheongsams – or qipaos, as they’re known in Mandarin. His is a very modern take on the traditional high-collared, form-fitting look, built around a firm belief that these eye-catching garments should be worn all the time, and not just on special occasions. It’s a look that attracts a younger, more fashion-forward set than many of his contemporaries, with fans pairing his colorful creations with jeans, sneakers and other clobber more regularly associated with dress-down Fridays at the office. What you’ll also get with a Lai Chan cheongsam are his signature gemstone buttons, inspired by the jade buttons on the imperial garments worn by Chinese Emperors. So there you have it: literally fit for an emperor. You can mix and match with your other half here, too, with bespoke ‘man-paos’ available for the discerning modern gent.
