SINGAPORE Pulau Ubin
This is a delightful retreat from the bustle of Singapore an island with a rural lifestyle that has changed Little in 30 years. Traditional fishing huts called kelongs are.built on stilts over the sea, while orchard trees, shrubs and flowers abound. Visitors can see a duck farm, a prawn farm, go camping and enjoy good hiking areas. There is a lake in a disused quarry and one of the favourite pastimes is to hire a bike and pedal around the island. There is plenty of wildlife, including the Purple Jungle Fowl, a wild bird from which all the world’s domestic chickens are descended. A seafood restaurant offers delicious fresh seafood. Allow a half to a whole day to enjoy the island. Getting there: Take the MRT to Tanah Merah (E9) station, then take SBS bus no. 2 to Changi Point. Walk across to Changi Jetty where bumboats leave frequently for Pulau Ubin. S$1 per ferry trip.
