Chinese New Year Plant Shopping at Thomson
It's the time of the year again for some Chinese New Year Plant Shopping! Avoid the crowd and head down now before things get crash and crowded. Thomson has over 10 nurseries in the hood and some of them include Hawaii landscape, ji Mei, far east and candy horticulture. Do check out the fresh flowers section of Candy or Far East for some nice blooms especially the peonies!!!

ruins and figs trail
#celebratewithtrip
there is a variety of different trails in Thomson nature park and I tried walking the rambutan trail, the ruins and figs trail, the langur trail and the macaque trail. the trees are so tall and it looks like a deep forest. however you feel so close to nature it is actually quite a relaxing walk over here. take some time off your busy schedule and have a short walk here on your own. it may be slippery especially when it’s drizzling so do be careful. there isn’t really any steep slopes as well, except one steep pathway but it is manageable. overall would recommend coming here to visit.

if you are bored of the typical places to hike in Singapore such as mount faber , mac Ritchie etc you can consider going to Thomson nature park this days. especially with the new mrt line it might be easier to reach here. so I took a direct bus to the Thomson nature park and this is the main entrance. it was nice and looks really good unfortunately it was raining hence couldn’t take much pictures nor o too far deep into the different trails. nevertheless the place looks pretty cool and have quite nice aesthetics and also talk about its history where it was once a hainan village. interesting thing to learn about.

Wildlife, bamboo tree @thomson nature park

If you happen to be in Singapore do consider visiting the thomson nature park if you are someone into wildlife. U will get to spot squirrels, birdd and sometimes even wild boar.
Personally love this area where there are plenty of bamboo trees. Check this place out some day for a walk.

Hiking at Thomson Nature Park
It is located adjacent to Central Catchment Nature Reserve near Old Upper Thomson Road. The park is being developed on the site of a former Hainan village which was established in the 1800s and abandoned in 1975. It has five trails spanning 3.8km into previous kampung areas. Now it is Singapore's newest and seventh nature park.
In the 1930s, the Hainan Village came into existence when Hainanese immigrants settled here. The village was well-known for its sweet and juicy rambutans. In the 1960s, the village grew to almost 100 families.
In 1980s, the village was cleared and the land was returned to the state. Afterwards, vegetation reclaimed the abandoned land and secondary forest regenerated in this area.
The opening hours of Thomson Nature Park are from 7am to 7pm daily. Entering or remaining in the park after 7pm is not allowed.

Thomson Nature Park: An interesting walk
Thomson Nature Park holds the preservation of wildlife as its utmost priority, which is why we may find some of its features inconvenient. It is because of this reason that the park closes at 7 pm daily and that there are no lamp posts installed in this park.
If you’re someone who enjoys nature and are always on the lookout for quiet places in Singapore with no traces of urban life, Thomson Nature Park is perfect for you. Bask in the chorus of forest creatures that never seem to quieten and the fresh air that the park affords. On an island crowded with urban amenities, we should always be thankful for places that offer a brief respite to a life stuck in an office, facing a laptop or a screen all day and night. Parks like this may well be the gateway you need to clear a cluttered mind. Just remember to cover all your exposed skin.

History Nature at Thomson Nature Park
#nationalparks
Thomson Nature Park in Singapore is a unique blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Spanning 50 hectares, the park is renowned for its rich biodiversity and the remnants of a Hainan village from the 1930s.
The park features five trails, including the Ruins and Figs Trail, which takes you through the heart of the old village, now reclaimed by nature. The Langur Trail offers a chance to spot the critically endangered Raffles’ banded langur. The park is accessible via public transport, with a bus stop nearby. Parking is limited, so it’s best to visit during off-peak hours. Whether you’re a history buff or a nature lover, Thomson Nature Park offers a serene and educational escape from the city.

#singaporetrip
It’s very friendly to kids coz it’s not very big and there are lots of mushrooms ,and they can see steams and find squirrels. It’s really like hiking in the forest.
Go with your friends and have a lot of fun.
Our family had an exciting adventure today, spending time hiking and exploring Thomson Nature Park. We discovered the ruins of old houses, encountered some playful monkeys and squirrels, and even met fellow nature enthusiasts along the way. It's truly amazing to experience the feeling of being in the jungle right next to the bustling city of Singapore.
