Unveiling Sembawang’s Hidden Gems: Step back in time and discover the charming transformation of Sembawang, once a quiet neighbourhood on the cusp of change. Our walking tour delves into its rich history, from its humble beginnings as a remote village to its current vibrant identity.
Gone are the days when Sembawang was considered “far-flung.” Today, this revitalized corner boasts a unique blend of old-world charm and modern development. We’ll explore the once-forgotten “real location of Chong Pang Village,” now transformed into a bustling hub, leaving even former villagers astounded by its evolution.
Amidst the progress, one constant remains – the Sembawang Hot Spring. This natural wonder, nestled in a picturesque setting, offers a tranquil escape from the city’s buzz. Immerse yourself in the warm waters, once enjoyed in a simple kampong setting, and now a beautifully landscaped park.
Join us on a nostalgic journey as we rediscover “Chap Sar Koh” (the 13th Milestone), a landmark that whispers tales of a bygone era. We’ll reminisce about the carefree spirit of the 60s and 70s, contrasting it with the dynamic present-day Sembawang.
