Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve

The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is located in the northwest of the island. In this 87-hectare swamp area, visitors can watch a unique flock of migratory birds; when winter comes, migratory birds fly from the northern country as far as Siberia to the warm southern hemisphere. Australia, here has become a rest stop on their long journey. This wetland area is also home to numerous wildlife and lush flora. Visitors can see small animals such as crabs, mudskippers, and alien sea crayfish that inhabit here, as well as various birds and animals from observation stations scattered throughout the park. The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve was listed as a natural park by the government in 1989, and then opened to the public in 1993. With the support of HSBC and other companies, it has been able to maintain a natural and fresh environment. There is also an art gallery and painting classes in the reserve, where visitors can experience artistic creations in the natural landscape. On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the Sungai Buloh Wetland Reserve, the National Parks Board of Singapore has decided to undertake a major re-planning of the reserve. After the re-planning, Sungei Buloh will be divided into four activity areas: interactive activity area, exploration activity area, expert activity area and restricted conservation area. Entering this reserve, in addition to seeing many birds, the well-built pavilions and pedestrian walkways in the park allow visitors to view the flora and fauna in the park from a close distance.
