Bukit Gombak

Bukit Gombak is a neighbourhood in the west-central area of the Southeast Asian city-state of Singapore. In the Malay language, bukit means hill and gombak a bunch or collection of something.
Bukit Gombak is not administered as a HDB new town nor thought of separately from the immediate neighbourhood of Bukit Batok, and thus its boundaries are not well-defined. It is generally regarded as the area around the elevated Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station of the same name (NS3), including the hills to the east of the station and HDB apartment blocks along Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 and East Avenue 5. The SMRT feeder bus service 945 from the Bukit Batok bus interchange plies the general area.

Little Guilin

Little Guilin Lake in BUKIT GOMBAK

Also known as Xiao Guilin among the locals, the Little Guilin looks similar to that of Guilin in China - a granite rock sitting within a lake. It was originally a disused granite quarry. In fact, the name "Bukit Batok" has been suggested to be derived from the noise made by the blasting in the granite quarry that now form the natural surroundings of Little Guilin.

Together with Bukit Batok Town Park and the neighbouring Bukit Batok Nature Park, it occupies 77 ha of land in the planning area of Bukit Batok. It encompasses Bukit Gombak, Hong Kah, Brickworks, Hillview, and also Bukit Batok itself. Before being designated as a park, in 1984, the Housing and Development Board had originally intended to fill the quarry up and build a road on it. However, it was converted to a pond instead when it was realized that the existing quarry had rugged granite outcrops and a contrasting backdrop of green hills that gave it a pleasant look. Soon, the surrounding areas were also beautified and made accessible by placing granite blocks on the retaining

walls and adding footpaths, lights and seating.

In 1996, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) conceptualized the Development Plan Guide for Yishun and Bukit Batok which proposed the use of the surrounding parks to enhance the residential landscape for the area. It also proposed links between the Town Park and Nature Parks, and eventually linking them via park connectors to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Sungei Pandan.

The Little Guilin Park has a narrow strip of land and occupies 42 ha, well-landscaped and provided with foothpaths. This park is popular with shutterbugs and wedding couples, and is lit from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am.

It is used for exercise and walks, the town park has also been used as a stage for Chinese Opera, dance and music performances such as the Heroine of the Water Margin. The park has also been suggested as an alternative destination for tourists wishing to see a different side of Singapore.
