Embark on an enchanting journey through Lim Chu Kang, a hidden gem in Singapore’s history. The road less travelled, with its intriguing past, awaits your exploration.
If truth be told, Lim Chu Kang Road today, has almost “nothing in between” for a long stretch. If the sun decides to shine, we’ll be right under the sun for the length of the “40 Lampposts”.
Often overlooked, Lim Chu Kang Road is a treasure trove of heritage. A road that once basked in village life, it now leads us through a scenic landscape. Did you know that it stands as one of Singapore’s cherished heritage roads? Venture beyond the 40 lampposts and immerse yourself in the lush countryside. The echoes of history, culture, and heritage linger here, waiting for curious souls to uncover.
Our journey commences at 9am, meeting at Choa Chu Kang MRT. Prepare for a leisurely bus ride, a 40-minute scenic route to Lim Chu Kang Road. A delightful stroll of just over 3km, or perhaps 4km, will unveil the heart of this intriguing destination. Meander along the dual-lane country road, capturing glimpses of the past that still resonate today.
In the spirit of discovery, we may tread upon Jalan Bahtera, a path less taken. We’ll unravel the mysteries of why Lt. General Yamashita chose Lim Chu Kang as his gateway into Singapore during World War II.
From the echoes of wartime significance to the serene charm of countryside living, our adventure embraces the multifaceted essence of Lim Chu Kang.
The theme of our expedition? Freedom to explore, just like the diverse facets of Lim Chu Kang. From stories of valiant defence to the tales of fertile fields, we’ll paint a vivid canvas depicting the Progress of Singapore.
Join me at Choa Chu Kang MRT at 9am on Sat, 30th of Sept 2023. Let’s step into the past and unveil the hidden stories that grace the sun-drenched roads of Lim Chu Kang.
