Rediscover Singapore’s Nature Places: The Wildlife of Chinese and Japanese Garden

To kick off the series of posts for the “Rediscover Singapore’s Nature Places” project, what best way then to start to explore the western end of Singapore first, and a garden so close to my home. This is the place where I go for morning exercise. That’s the Chinese and Japanese Garden, next to the Chinese Garden MRT.

Located in an idyllic environment, it’s an ideal place for morning exercise. Some people would do taichi and yoga here too. What better way to start the day with a stretch, some gongfu moves or beautiful poses. Om.

This is a haven for bird watchers too. Previously when I came here for exercise, I didn’t bring my phone as I just want to enjoy my time exercising in nature without distractions. But I saw many amazing wildlife here, so I took my camera to capture the action.

If you love wildlife, pop by this place early one morning to enjoy the fresh air, chirping of birds and wildlife in action. It will give you a cheery start for the day.
