Little Guilin: Singapore’s Hidden Gem in Bukit Batok

#singaporetrip Tucked away in Bukit Batok Town Park, Little Guilin—also known as Xiao Guilin—is a tranquil retreat that resembles the limestone karst landscapes of Guilin in China. With towering granite cliffs rising above a peaceful lake, this spot blends rugged natural beauty with a calm, scenic atmosphere. 🌿 From Quarry to Beauty Spot Once a granite quarry called Gammon Quarry, the site was abandoned in the 1980s. Over time, it was filled with rainwater and was transformed into a park in 1984 by the Housing and Development Board, keeping its dramatic rock formations and lush greenery intact. 📸 What to See Granite Cliffs & Lake: The emerald lake and surrounding cliffs are the main attraction—perfect for peaceful walks and scenic photography. Walking Trails: A short 400-meter path around the lake offers great views at every turn. Photo Spots: It’s a favourite for photographers and even pre-wedding shoots, thanks to its striking natural beauty. 🚶 How to Get There MRT: 8-minute walk from Bukit Gombak MRT Station (NS3). Bus: Services 945, 871, and 871A stop nearby. Parking: No on-site parking, but nearby HDB car parks (Blocks 523–525) are just a short walk away. 🕒 Visitor Info Open: 24 hours daily Admission: Free Lighting: 7:00 PM – 7:00 AM Whether you’re in search of quiet nature, a scenic photo op, or a quick city escape, Little Guilin offers a serene slice of natural beauty right in the heart of Bukit Batok. #LittleGuilin #XiaoGuilin #BukitBatok #SingaporeParks #HiddenGemsSG
