I’ve been in Singapore for a good number of years now and I would be hard pressed to find a place I have never been to in this tiny island. However, when a friend of mind dropped by, the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve caught his fancy and so did I. This was one of the few places I have never been to, primarily due to the lack of interest my other friends have expressed in visiting this place. Afterall, what can you see in a wetland reserve anyway?
The Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve sits in the north of Singapore where a huge swathe of wetland has been blissfully undeveloped and designated a park. As you may know, land is something that Singapore doesn’t have too much of. A huge chunk of land declared as a park is truly a luxury even for this prosperous island nation. However, it was only in the last 20 years that the value of Sungei Buloh was appreciated. It has since been elevated to the status of nature park and it is one of the most significant parks in the entire country.
