Explore Upper Thomson Road’s hidden charms. Join us for a leisurely morning walk along Upper Thomson Road and Old Upper Thomson Road, two of the most scenic and serene routes in northern Singapore. With their lush greenery and cool temperatures, these roads offer a refreshing escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.

On cool mornings, a thick mist blankets the area between the 7th and 10th milestones, creating a magical atmosphere. This might not last forever, as new developments are planned with the Springleaf MRT now operational. But amidst these changes, one treasure remains untouched – the Hainanese Village, nestled within the Thomson Nature Park.

Our walk will take us through the remnants of this once-bustling kampong, rich with heritage and charm. Imagine the vibrant village life that once thrived here as we stroll through this tranquil slice of Singapore’s history.

Beyond its natural beauty and cultural significance, this area holds a thrilling past. From 1961 to 1973, Upper Thomson Road and Old Upper Thomson Road roared to life as part of the Singapore Grand Prix circuit. On Easter weekends, the roads echoed with the thunder of racing cars and motorcycles. Today, the contrast couldn’t be starker – tranquillity reigns where speed once dominated.

The walk will end near the Springleaf MRT, where you can explore the many eateries nearby to round off your morning.
