just been there a few months back.. business is blooming there. no shortage of food drinks and bicycles.

 

if u like nature, every bit of the island is nice :)

 

the more prominent spots are chek jawa and the village head's private zoo.

Should have near the ferry terminal. I always find ubin nothing much to see except the chek jawa. Or even chek jawa also nothing much to see.

went there a year back

 

still pretty much the same rustic environment as 20 years ago

 

one of the few last places in Singapore where you can enjoy the nature where the time passed by slowly and it's not overcrowded with foreigners

Hmmm, I must say, I've seen 3 different "versions" of Ubin, and this latest one where there's a proper man-made platform for you to "walk" around Chek Jawa is not to my liking at all. Hell, even the Swiss mansion/cottage has turned into a museum of sorts!

 

Everything seems so ... civilised? I still prefer the 80-90s version the best :D

any idea for bicycle ?

 

Can't remember... around $6 to $10 if I'm not wrong. I usually walk around there, so I've never rented a bicycle.

Heard they have plans to develop ubin?! If really true then there is no more places in sgp can get to enjoy the nature.

Can try sneak into SAF training areas, some such places must be still virgin with little civilization. [:)]

 

But remember the guards there don't differentiate between nature lovers and intruders.

actually kampung buangkok also not bad. nowhere else in SG can u find a kampung now except there. but the a/m line still applies.
