[Photo Journal] Walk through Bukit Brown

Bukit Brown is an old cemetery in Singapore. It is one of the more natural areas on the island, but is under heavy construction now to build a highway through it. I went on a walk through it with some friends a few months ago, and it was really cool to be in such a quiet and secluded place. So if you are looking to escape the crowded malls, try going there for a walk or a jog.

Gone for good?

Unfortunately, they are building a major highway right through the cemetery. They are currently moving graves and have sectioned off a large portion of it already.

Have you seen Bukit Brown? Will you miss this gem?
