Seletar Travel Guide

 victorwkf Says:  There are still some farms remaining in the Seletar are, mainly vegetable farms, flower farms and tropical fish farms (Singapore is one of the largest exporters of freshwater tropical aquarium fishes in the world). 

 victorwkf Says:  One of my best memories of Seletar is that there are several roundabouts there, the most famous being Picadilly Circle (yes, it is the same name as that in London). Also, the roads here are lined with beautiful scenery and British colonial houses, giving you a feeling that... 

 victorwkf Says:  Within Seletar is the famous Seletar Country Club which is nestled nicely among the beautiful environment. As expected, this country club has its own golf course as well as driving range. There is also a Chinese restaurant here as well. 

 victorwkf Says:  Jalan Kayu is the road leading up to Seletar from Yio Chu Kang Road. There are many shophouses along Jalan Kayu, of which the famous Roti Prata (an Indian style pancake) store is located. A lot of locals will come all the way here just to eat the famous Roti Prata. 

 victorwkf Says:  Although the famous Piccadily Circle is in London, there is actually a Piccadily Circle at Seletar! This circle is located just next to the main entrance, and in fact a lot of the roads at Seletar are named after British. 

 victorwkf Says:  Seletar Airport is now a commerical airport for small private planes. Long ago, it used to be the main airport in Singapore and used extensively by the British during the colonial days. 

 victorwkf Says:  There is a very scenic river called Sungei Punggol (Punggol River) which is located next to Seletar. You can see this river very clearly if you drive and cross the bridge from the Sengkang and Punggol area from the east to the Seletar area. On the banks of this river are... 

 victorwkf Says:  When you are at Seletar, it really feels like you are at another country (e.g. in Europe) as the scenery, buildings and atmosphere here is so different from the busy skyscrapers of Singapore. These photos are good examples of what I am talking about. After so many years, I... 

 victorwkf Says:  There is an army camp inside the Seletar area near to the airport, so be careful when you are near this place. Try not to take any photographs of the camp as it is not allowed. 

 victorwkf Says:  If you enter Seletar Farmway 4 from Jalan Kayu, you will see several blocks of deserted housing flats here. 

 victorwkf Says:  Perhaps the most common wildlife you can see at Seletar are the migratory birds, which are common in the northern parts of Singapore. The most common bird is the impressive white egret like the one shown in this photograph. 

 victorwkf Says:  On the southern side of Yio Chu Kang Road somewhere near the junction between Jalan Kayu and Yio Chu Kang Road, there is a huge private housing estate known as Seletar Hill. If you are driving, you can explore the environment of this housing estate.
