Sightseeing

Quiet hilly neighbourhood to walk about. It used to be home to schools and it's actually also the back access to the Istana. There is a small park there, but you can get great views over Dhoby Ghaut

This Dome has seasonal exhibits. So usually on the local festive dates (Lunar New Year, Hari Raya, Christmas etc) will have a flower exhibition thematic to the holidays! Definitely worth a visit!

A cinema resides here, and its right next to Bugis Street. This mall acts as an extension for Bugis Junction, and a younger hipper crowd. Wouldn't boast of much to shop, but definitely have some interesting things to eat and see.
