The 4 biggest regions — Central Region, North Region, North-East Region and West Region — read below as chapters, with 1 more waiting past them.

Chapter I · Central Region · 60 places

Central Region

Gardens by the Bay occupies 101 hectares of reclaimed land on Marina Bay in central Singapore, with its 18 Supertree Grove structures — vertical gardens rising between 25 and 50 metres — providing one of the most distinctive skylines in contemporary Asia. The two cooled conservatories, the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, contain plants from Mediterranean and tropical montane ecosystems respectively. The OCBC Skyway, an aerial walkway between the tallest Supertrees, offers elevated views across the bay to Marina Bay Sands at sunrise.

Chapter III · North-East Region · 3 places

North-East Region

Pulau Ubin is a small island in the Johor Strait reachable by bumboat from Changi Village, and is the last place in Singapore where kampong (traditional village) life persists largely unchanged. The island's granite quarrying history is evident in flooded quarry pits that have become habitats for wildlife, and the Chek Jawa Wetlands on the eastern tip protect one of Singapore's last undeveloped coastal ecosystems containing mangrove, seagrass, and coral rubble. Cyclists exploring the unpaved tracks through secondary forest encounter wild boar, long-tailed macaques, and migratory birds.

A long-running Asian bird park, now succeeded by a new site, that housed thousands of birds across walk-in aviaries and a waterfall enclosure. Free-flight shows and lorikeet feedings were highlights for families.
