Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Learn about Singapore's history while experiencing the lush beauty of nature when you take a trip to Fort Canning Park. The location, which sits on a low hill, was at one time home to Malay rulers dating to the turn of the 14th century. Now, you can enjoy the abundant flora and marvel at Singaporean architecture. Guided nature walks happen on many Saturdays. For a fresh historical perspective on World War II, see the Battle Box to relive the events leading up to the British surrender of Singapore to the Japanese in 1942. You can also watch performances at the park, ranging from famous music to ballet.

Fort Canning Park Photos: Trip Moments
This is really just a holeSingapore Attractions If you happen to have chosen Singapore for your travels, why not take a look at this giant tree hole~~~ Looking up from the bottom is indeed quite spectacular~ It feels like a sanctuary hidden in the bustling city. Fort Canning Park is located to the northwest of Marina Bay. It is a small hill that is not very high. Although the park is located in the city center, it is a quiet place. The site of Fort Canning Park was once a fortress that defended the port of Singapore. Today, you can still see the old cannons in the park, as well as some remnants of buildings from the British colonial period. The park has now become an urban park, and another attraction worth visiting is the Spice Garden within the park. It is a replica of an experimental botanical garden built by Raffles in Singapore in 1822. The original experimental botanical garden covered an area of 19 hectares, and the current Spice Garden is a miniature of it. Attraction: Fort Canning Park Address: Fort Canning Park, River Valley Rd Opening Hours: Open all day Transportation: If you are visiting Singapore with your parents or children, it is recommended to rent a car for convenience.NoraThompson8344

Fort Canning Park 🌿🇸🇬#singapore 🇸🇬 Fort Canning is a park in a high spot in central Singapore. Lots of trees and open space for a walk or just relax. There is a hotel, some great photo spots, and views of the city. You should see! Ok what a beautiful garden I have been to Singapore 10 times and have never been here before. Why is this Now I have to say it’s very steep and there are quite a few stairs but it’s worth it that goloves everywhere are the most beautiful green flowers and plants everywhere. And Birdsnest’s amazing fens and all kinds of tree-growing houses. It’s so amazing There are toilet blocks in a few places. And there were people sweeping the fallen leaves and any garbage. As a result, the place was clean. This was my first time at Fort Canning Park and it was a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. There is a museum, plants, gardens and a luxury hotel located inside the park. ☘️ It was great for some escape on Saturday morning. I was very impressed by the grave marks of people who died in Singapore when it was a British colony. I love this garden It is very quiet and quiet. We spent nearly four hours exploring this place. The park is so big, a lot of locals came here to enjoy the weekends. Besides, there are some small attractions in the park. I like the Spice Museum which offers history about different spices. You should see itAbduraqeb Abdullah57

Singapore: A Jungle-like Tourist Spot?Singapore Tourism 🇸🇬 I finally got to visit the tunnel at Fort Canning Park that I've always wanted to see ☀️ If you aim for the Fort Canning Tree, it's easy to get there (somehow I encountered a magnificent chicken on the way) ☝️ I thought I'd have to wait quite a while since it's popular, but there were only about 10 people in line and it took around 30 minutes. It was shorter than I expected and I had plenty of time 👍 By the way, a wide-angle camera is essential because a normal camera won't capture it all, so be careful 📷 Definitely try to take some fantastical photos!tinker_richo6

The Ultimate Check-In Spot at Fort Canning.Visiting Singapore, you must stop by here. Gorgeous!! I must say it's really beautiful. This place has a circular tunnel staircase with a curve shape. Walk around to enjoy the view, the design is made to be an ultra-cool photo spot. There's a tunnel opening that's like the sky, contrasted with green trees and hanging bushes adding dimension, it's incredibly beautiful. If you don't check in here, you're missing out big time because you get the most amazing upward sky angle pictures. I recommend going early in the morning because the queue can be very long, but it's totally worth the wait for the highlight-worthy pictures you'll get. This place is called Fort Canning. It's a public park located opposite the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, near Orchard Road. It's very convenient to get to, just walk out of the station, go to exit B, cross the street and you're there. I highly recommend checking it out.Tummy Hippo1

Fort Canning Park#singaporetrip Enjoyed learning all we could during our visit to this old and well-preserved park and property. Wonderful spice garden and historical exhibits. Don't rush and make sure you leave enough time to wander the paths and discover the many facets of this large venue right in the heart of Singapore. A nice place to spend your morning. The park has a great kids' play area as well. Please be mindful of the long queue at the famouse staircase if you wish to take your photographs there.Tala_Travel1015
Singapore Dragon's Den | Fort Canning Park • Tree Hole Observatory 🌳 Hidden in the lush greeneryLocated in Singapore, Fort Canning Park~ | Park's Tiankeng tree tunnel ❗️❗️Suggest using map navigation directly to get there. I came in from another entrance and climbed the mountain for a while ⛰️. The result is that this 🕳sinkhole is at the foot of the mountain, and my head is buzzing~ And because it's Saturday, there are really a lot of people. There may be a queue for taking photos 📸, it is recommended to bring a small fan. | 📌Address: Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel Google Map: River Valley Rd, Singapore | 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ Make sure to take the right path, otherwise you'll climb for a long time 🕳️. Location is right by the road, take the MRT to Dhoby Ghaut. | 🌳🌳 Looking from bottom to top, the towering tree at the top is full of vitality against the backdrop of the blue sky. Looking from top to bottom, there is a mysterious feeling of "a winding path leading to a secluded spot". •🌈🌈🌈 Recommended check-in spot: Tree Tunnel. The overall structure is a spiral staircase, experiencing the surging darkness of the "Dragon's Lair". | Adjusted several versions of color schemes on the last few pages.OrionSoulseeker2726

The Instagrammable Fort Canning Park#singapore Fort Canning Park is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a place where you can explore Singapore's rich history, soak up the natural beauty of the surroundings, and experience the vibrant cultural scene. The Fort Canning Tree Tunnel is one of the iconic photo spots in Singapore. Built with a spiral staircase on the edge of Fort Canning Park, when one looks up from the bottom of the staircase, they will be greeted by the sight of the trees and silhouettes against the staircase wall. When I reached the tunnel, there were quite a number of people lined up for taking pictures.I highly recommend!!Mel2254
Singapore | For fresh air, Fort Canning Park is a must-visitRight next to the National Museum, you can find the entrance to 'Fort Canning Park,' known as the 'green lung of Singapore'. 🌳 I really like the flowers and trees here, especially how they complement the architecture of the National Museum. 🛗 Shortly after entering, there's an escalator that takes you up to the park. This was once the residence of Sir Stamford Raffles and the royal seat of the Sultanate in the 14th century. 🏞 There are many attractions within the park, including the popular 'tree hole' spiral staircase known as the Dragon's Den; Maritime Corner, which marks Singapore's evolution from a transshipment port to an international maritime center; the 19th-century Fort Gate; the Gothic Gates; the Spice Garden; the ASEAN Sculpture Garden; Sang Nila Utama Garden; Jubilee Park; and the Battle Box, which was a military base hidden underground during World War II. 🌠 The surrounding flora is meticulously designed, making every spot comfortable to walk through. Hotel Fort Canning is also located here, and the large lawn in front of it is really comfortable, making for great photos! ▶️Tips: 1. It is recommended to visit the National Museum and then take a stroll in the park, which is only 300m away. Otherwise, visiting the park alone might be quite tiring. 2. Next to the park entrance by the National Museum, there's a café called ONALU, where the salmon burger is delicious and substantial for $13.5 each. 3. The park is quite large, so if you only want to visit the popular tree hole for photos, take the subway to Dhoby Ghaut Station, exit at Exit B, and follow the signs to Fort Canning. Navigate to Fort Canning tunnel, which is behind Hotel Fort Canning. You'll see a small tunnel, go through it, and you'll arrive.Scott Amanda Mandy2

Fort Canning#singaporetrip More than 20 years never been Fort Canning. Am feeling amazing when stepped into this area. There are so many gardens around Fort Canning. Am impressed of its development. Never regret to spend time venturing & my walking round trip.Fort Canning is a hidden gem in the middle of the busy city. It's like stepping into a park oasis. Such a well-maintained park. The grounds are super clean and peaceful, with lots of greenery and interesting historical sites. I loved exploring the fort and learning.KrisAdventure_19

Popular photo spot at fort canningFort canning tree bunker 51 Canning Rise, Singapore 179872 This photo spot is very popular among locals, tourist or even celebrity. Expect to queue during the day. Would advise coming early to avoid the crowd. It's not easy to locate the place. Took a bit of walking and many people were lost. It's along the road side, much easier to access from there but have to spot it as I saw many people missing the entrance. There are also many other photo spots nearby the tree tunnel like the fort canning lighthouse, canon, spice garden and the Sang Nila utama garden. #singaporetrip #singaporekozonias

it’s a lovely park, suitable for evening walk.😊✨there’s a hidden gem in the park - Le Jardin, an awesome unique cafe.
If you want to go straight to this tunnel It is recommended to get off at Dhoby Ghaut Station and walk across the road to reach it. You can continue walking to other parts. It is recommended to go before 11 o'clock. Or after 5 o'clock The day is quite hot + a long photo queue.
Fort Canning Park captivated me with its rich history and serene ambiance. From ancient relics to lush greenery, it’s a peaceful escape in the heart of Singapore. Exploring the park felt like stepping back in time, a hidden gem blending nature and heritage.
The park is an 18 hectare green space filled with historical treasures such as centuries-old artifacts, pavilions and gates. Forkang Ning is a beautiful oasis in the heart of Singapore. The park offers a welcome environment. This is a reserved place, with numerous buildings protected to preserve the heritage and uniqueness of the area. Walking in Fort Canning Park, you can immerse yourself in the memory kingdom of Singapore.
