Sightseeing
The Chinese Garden first opened in 1975. This makes it more than forty years old. While it doesn’t have the glamour of Gardens by the Bay or the pedigree of Singapore Botanic Gardens, it is still one of the most characterful parks in Singapore.
In 2015, it was given a sprucing up with architectural repairs, along with electrical and repainting works. In 2016, it received a further boost to its visitorship with sightings of rare Pokemon at the Chinese Garden drawing droves of Pokemon trainers.
But, there are more reasons to visit the iconic Chinese Garden than Pokemon-hunting. The Chinese Garden offers a landscape that is unique in urban Singapore. As a consequence of its setting on an island in Jurong Lake, it offers a tranquil place to escape to – particularly on weekdays when there are fewer visitors to the park.
