Unusual Things you can do - Journey to the Heartlands

Go to the HDB Heartlands

How do you house a population of 4 million people on an island that is about 700 sq km?
Well the government of Singapore sure did a good job here. 75% of the population live in public housing. You might have the impression that public housing anywhere in the world is equivalent to 'projects' or slums for the economically depress and underclass. Let the public housing program HDB (Housing Development Board) of Singapore shatter that myth.

HDB new towns cover more of Singapore than Orchard Road and the Central Business District (CBD) combined. Here is where you find the real Singapore.

Visitors can find their way to the heartlands by taking the MRT to one of these stations Jurong, Toa Payoh and Tampines. Get off and you will be in the heart of Singapore! See where Singaporeans live, shop, eat and raise their children.
