Sembawang Hot Spring Park

Missing the free steaming hot public footbaths in Japan? Sembawang Hot Springs park is the only place in Singapore that provides hot water from underground. To make the place more attractive for visitors, it had undergone a major revamp. It has transformed from just a place with standpipes of hot running water to a park featuring a public footbath with some greenery to liven up the place. The footbath, also known as the Cascading Pools, is the highlight, where visitors can let their tired feet take a dip into the hot water. As the pool is not very big, there may be some waiting time before your turn. Alternatively, you can bring your own pail and fill it with hot water for your feet to save the waiting time. You may use the taps by the side which also provide hot water to boil some eggs. You may also explore the mini garden trails especially the majestic banyan tree. Do take note of the opening hours from 7am-7pm if you are making a trip there. Weekdays are typically better as it will less crowded than weekends. #naturewonders
