[2025 Singapore Attraction] Travel Guide for Kent Ridge Park (Updated Jul)

#bestsunset #100WaysOfTravel On my way to Kent Ridge MRT station, I alighted at the NUH bus stop and happened to see a glowing sunset. It was about 7pm and along the AYE expressway towards NUH. The sun was glowing and the skies were clear. It was a good day and the sunset lasted until 7.40pm. There were not much high rise building here and the views are unblocked. I also walked up to the overhead bridge to get closer to the sunset and there was no crowd here too. If you are staying in the hotels in this area, you should be able to see sunset in the west direction. #singapore #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

#summervacay Geneo Mall – where design meets nature at Singapore Science Park Hidden away at the edge of Singapore Science Park, Geneo isn’t your typical shopping mall. Instead of sleek, towering glass boxes or crowded indoor corridors, it greets you with something unexpected — a stunning open-air plaza wrapped in timber, greenery, and light. The first thing that hits you is the architecture. Towering wooden arches stretch high above, supporting a louvred glass roof that lets sunlight stream in while keeping the space cool and shaded. The design feels almost cathedral-like, but instead of stained glass and stone, it's light, wood, and sky. These timber arches are some of the tallest mass-engineered timber structures in Singapore, and they give the space a calm, grounded energy that makes you want to linger a little longer. At the centre of it all is The Canopy — a wide, naturally ventilated plaza with seating, water terraces, and a 300-seat amphitheatre. It’s not just a place to pass through; it’s a place to stay. On weekdays, you might see people lounging with coffee, catching up with friends, or attending casual outdoor events. The space feels open, breezy, and welcoming. One level up, the Seed Garden adds another layer to the experience. It’s a lush rooftop retreat filled with ginger plants, walking trails, and ponds — a quiet green pocket tucked just above the dining level. Whether you're taking a breather between meetings or just out for a stroll, it offers a slice of calm rarely found in malls. Geneo is designed to be more than just retail. It blends work, lifestyle, and wellness, with five interconnected buildings, serviced apartments, direct MRT access via an underground link, bicycle lots, and even EV charging stations. Every element feels intentional, from the greenery lining the walkways to the choice of sustainable materials used in construction. It’s a place that feels alive — with sunlight, fresh air, and movement — and that’s what sets it apart. Whether you’re here for lunch, a quiet evening walk, or just to explore something different, Geneo quietly impresses with its thoughtful design and nature-forward charm.
