Wei Tuo Fa Gong Temple (1st stopover)
K2NG Says: According to sources in the internet, this temple, also known as Lily Pond Temple, has a history of over 80 years. It is located just before Jelutong bridge if you are heading westward from the Jetty. There is a signboard by the main road with an arrow hinting the direction...
K2NG Says: After crossing over Jelutong bridge (from Jetty), not far ahead to the right-side of the track is Merbah Hut. This hut marks the start point of a hike up the highest hill in P. Ubin, Bukit Puaka, with the highest elevation reaching between 70 to 80 metres. There is no...
German Girl Shrine (3rd stopover)
K2NG Says: A legend tells not only a story, but draws people to any monument that was built in its memory. A small yellow-colored shrine might not be attention worthy to many, but a German Girl shrine in a small island in this part of the world is certainly something to stir one's...
Chek Jawa (last stopover after lunch at Jetty)
K2NG Says: Wading bare-foot during low tide in Chek Jawa conservation ecosystem requires permit application and a guide. Check with National Parks (Singapore) on the application process. There are other places of attraction in Chek Jawa that do not require permits, such as P. Ubin's...
K2NG Says: Upon recommendation by one of our friends, we headed for this restaurant by the coast. I remember it has a white tent and covers a relatively big area compared to other restaurants. There are live seafood inside tanks to attract curious onlookers. It is near one part of the...

K2NG Says: After Bubut Hut the road stretches north-west further for quite a distance to a dead end near Kekek Quarry. You will pass by Kg Bukit Coffee (Cemetery). This stretch of road has steep slope and can be physically tough for a biker. And further nearing the end, the road...
K2NG Says: P. Ubin is a rural area, hence wildlife is not uncommon. If you stumble upon one, please remain calm and do not panic. They fear you more than you fear them. On the way from "Why U so Like Dat" to Celestial Resort, I saw this reptile cutting its way across the road. (See...
K2NG Says: There is a huge boulder at the top of Bukit Puka. If you want to climb up to take a better view, do be careful. Exercise common sense when you see railings. Do not try to cross over to bring yourself closer to the edge of the cliff.

imstress Says: Pulau Sekudu (Frog Island) is situated off Chek Jawa, Pulau Ubin. This little islet appears close to Ubin's shore, but can only be reached by boat at low tides. It is rich in marine life. The islet's strange name has a part in the legend about how Ubin formed. There is also...
