Jurong Hill Park
Many people come here for the panoramic views from the top of the hill, despite the fact that this park is still rather hidden in the Jurong neighbourhood. Begin your ascent from Jurong Bird Park (you can alternatively drive up) to the iconic lookout tower. A ‘garden of renown’ is located within the park and is named for the numerous trees planted by visiting foreign dignitaries.
