This award winning tour offers an interesting insight into life outside the city of Singapore. The tour starts with a visit to Haw Par Villa, a theme park of Chinese mythology with exhibits of legendary figures. The tour then proceeds to Kranji Dam, which was once a swampy area used as the first landing spot for Japanese Advance Boats before they proceeded to Lim Chu Kang territory. Today, this North Western point of the island gives a clear view of Jahore Bahru.
Next, you will proceed to Kranji War Memorial. Unveiled in 1957, the memorial overlooking the Straits of Jahore, is the last resting place for many of the allied soldiers who lost their lives in World War II. It commemorates by name over 20,000 men and women of the forces who have no known grave.
After lunch is a visit to the Bright Hill Temple, which is famous for its Chinese crematorium and well stocked turtle pond. The final loop of the tour will bring you to Changi passing the Johore Battery built by the British in 1939 to view a replica 'Monster Gun', one of the largest guns installed outside Great Britain during World War II. The last stop is Changi Chapel and Museum, where you will visit the museum and a replica of the chapel used during World War II. Drive through Changi Village enroute back to the Singapore. |
