Sanny Park Mystery

Sanny Park

So I'm heading to Sanny Park next week, it's near my aunt's place in Singapore, and I've heard whispers about a hidden "secret" trail locals use. Apparently, it's not on any map, and leads to some… more

Good luck! Sounds like a fun little adventure. Singapore's full of surprises tucked away in plain sight. If your aunt's dismissing it, maybe try asking some of her neighbours?

Sometimes, the "hidden" spots are more about being observant than knowing a specific route. Let us know how it goes! I'm intrigued.

Going super early is definitely a good strategy. Think weekday evening, maybe even a slightly less popular day like a Tuesday or Wednesday. The crowds are still there, don't get me wrong, but it's less of a total crush. Another thing to consider is positioning. Instead of trying to get dead center, find a slightly off-center spot. You'll still get great views, but with less jostling. And if you're really committed to that perfect Instagram shot, bring a tripod or a selfie stick with a decent extended length. Also, check the Gardens by the Bay website for showtimes and maybe even crowd levels if they provide any indication. It's worth a quick look before you go. Good luck with your Insta-worthy photo!
