Singapore Tourism Board cooperates with National Geographic CreativeWorks to launch the Unseen/Singapore campaign. The campaign helps visitors re-imagine Singapore through the eyes of Southeast Asian photographers.
Through the art of photography, the Unseen/Singapore exhibition urges visitors to experience cultural diversity and discover the hidden beauty of little-known places in the lion island nation.
From January 25, the Unseen/Singapore photo exhibition was officially launched to the public – a place for visitors to explore new experiences in Singapore online.
For some tourists who travel to Singapore for a short time, it is difficult to fully experience nature as well as learn more about the people here.
This project is an opportunity for everyone to slow down and explore familiar things from a new perspective that can sometimes make you fall in love with Singapore. Reflections at Bukit Chandu, Yuen Tong Hong, Ang Mo Kio Garden West…, are places present in the Unseen/Singapore project.
Located in a Bungalow at Kent Ridge Park, Reflections at Bukit Chandu museum is one of the places considered an impressive destination with activities to help visitors learn about Singapore’s history. This is a place to display historical artifacts and host many exhibitions recreating the vivid story of the courage of the Malay Regiment in the battle of Pasir Panjang during World War II.
Singapore is one of the countries with rapid modernization, leading to the disappearance of many traditional crafts and trading activities. So, before this colorful diversity becomes just a memory, don’t miss the opportunity to walk around Singapore’s impressive areas. Established in March 1962, Yuen Tong Hong store sells hardware tools, locks and door accessories in the photo. This is where you can hear proud career stories. This shop in Jalan Besar was once a member of a union of hardware merchants, specializing in selling iron and brass items for the carpentry, construction and engineering industries.
Besides Singapore’s oldest places of worship such as the Sri Mariamman Hindu temple, the Thian Hock Keng Buddhist temple or the Masjid Jamae mosque, Chinatown also impresses with a series of murals by Yip Yew Chong. This old town rich in its own culture is where Yip Yew Chong grew up in the period 1970-1980.
Not only that, right at the foot of a hill in the Ang Mo Kio Garden West area, there are more than 1,000 bird cages, the Kebun Baru Birdsinging Club’s singing arena and the largest performance venue in Singapore in general and Southeast Asia in particular. On the weekend, the holiday is a time for birds from Ang Mo Kio and as far away asir Ris, Jurong or the Woodlands to practice their voices and compete. Exploring this place, you will hear the gentle cooing sound of hundreds of striped pigeons or enjoy the chirping sounds of fire warblers, crested bulbuls, Indian ringnecks…
Visit Pulau Ubin to enjoy the beauty combining nature and history that visitors cannot miss. It only takes about 15 minutes by ferry from the center (Changi Point ferry terminal) to this peaceful island. On the island, the Chek Jawa Wetlands – the “meeting” place of 6 separate habitats – stands out the most. This is the habitat of many rare species of animals and plants as well as native and migratory birds.
