Labrador Park

This park habours the tears and blood from WWII. Interesting enough, now this park are known to many as the park famous rumour that underground tunnels actually links to Malaysia.

How we got there?

We took the MRT and alighted at Harbour Front station. Then, it was a bus ride which brought us to the entrance of the park. Take bus 10, 30, 51, 143 or 176 in front of Vivo city. Alight when u see the PSA buidling.


By taking this route, we reached the hilly area of the park. This park is not very big, one would be able to finish walking, perhaps in 2-3 hours, thoroughly.

The park basically has 3 parts: the sea, the greens, the tunnels. We definitely find the sea very familiar as TV dramas like to use it as the background. -_-! Apart from that, it actually has a very clean and clear shoreline.



The above tooth-like looking rock is the Long Yemen 龙牙门. It used to be a pair of them protruding in the habour of labrador park. It was removed to allow bigger ships to sail into Singapore.

The most myterious tunnels, were unfortunately closed when we were there. It was a public holiday so we guess it wasn't open. Point to note is that the tunnels are not, erm, free, an admission fee of $8+ is required, and it comes with a guided tour!

These tunnels were only found in 2001, they were used during WWII by the British army!

Side dishes

Since we conquered the Labrador rather early, we decided to visit some museums. Namely, Central Fire Station Museum, Peranakan Museum, Asian Civilisation Museum.

They are all located in very near, but visiting 3 museums all at one, was definitely mentally tiring.
