An Introduction
The setting of Pulau Ubin is like Singapore in the olden 60s. Right here you can still find
villages, people living in kampong, etc. Though life is back like the olden days, yet the people there
are really well-updated on current affairs happening around our world today.
Pulau Ubin is an island northeast of Singapore with a land area of 1019 hectares. The highest point of the
island is 75m which is the Puaka Hill. The island has a rich resource of granite, which is the
reason why sometimes it is referred to as the 'Stone Mountain'.
Right here at Pulau Ubin, you will find many wonders of nature life. You can find newly-hatched
fishes, prawns, crabs and many more creatures making the mangroves their home which make up most of the
coastline. Away from the
would be secondary forest made up mainly of rubber plantations and
coconut groves. Abandoned gardens filled with local fruits such as durian and rambutans may be found.
Pulau Ubin Recreation Area is an ideal place for group activities such as cycling (bicycles can be rented),
explorations and camping. Bird-watching and photography are also allowed.
