Serene Yunnan Garden NTU

Yunnan Garden, nestled within the National Technological University (NTU) campus in Singapore, is a picturesque and serene haven that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and cultural significance. The garden's design is inspired by the traditional Chinese landscape painting, characterized by carefully arranged natural elements such as rocks, water, plants, and pavilions. As visitors enter the garden, they are greeted by the gentle sound of water flowing through streams and ponds, creating a calming atmosphere that instantly relaxes the mind and soothes the soul.

Bee hive for humans?
I visited NTU's HIVE today, a bustling academic building for students to take part in classes, study, interact and even grab a bite at their cafe.
With 8 stories of real estate, this uniquely designed building can house over 40 classes at one time and being able to take in the environment of hustling students can be quite inspiring
If you are ever in the area of NTU, or am an alummi, do drop by to check out this amazing building

Yunnan Garden at NTU
Address: 12 Nanyang Dr, Singapore 637721
Highlights:
This is definitely one of the underrated parks in Singapore. It is located at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) campus. Such a scenic heritage park, beautifully landscaped with a lake and gardens, waterfall, themed trails, heritage monuments, pavilions, and a playground for kids. It features a diversity of flora and fauna.
The Yunnan Garden was rejuvenated recently. You may see from the information kiosk for its transformation journey. I feel that the students and lecturers who stay there are so lucky.
I truly appreciate the variety found in this park. It would be best if there was a toilet nearby. Limited parking spot. If driving in, park your car in front of Hall of Residence 4.

Rejuvenated scenic Yunnan Garden at NTU
Nanyang Technological University’s Yunnan Garden has been rejuvenated from a simple park to a picturesque park with sprawling lush greenery and waterscapes. The Nanyang Lake, which was previously a lake by itself, was expanded for the Yunnan Garden to have waterscapes. I enjoy looking at the waterfall and fishes swimming in the pond.
You can choose to take a photo of the historical Nanyang arch that vehicles will pass through to reach Nanyang University in the past. 🍂
I would say there were hardly any visitors or students who chose to take a walk at Yunnan Garden before this. After the transformation, it has turned into a beautiful park for the students to take a relaxing walk after their tutorials or lectures and also for the public to visit. 🍃
How to get there - Take bus 179 from Pioneer MRT or Boon Lay Bus Interchange

Curving rooftop lawn like Teletubbies home
Nanyang Technological University’s School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) has an unusual curved green roof, a cascading pond. The highlight of the building is the ver- dant roof which weaves in and out of the ground.
The side of the facade are make of glass which feels like a glass curtain wall coupled with off-form concrete walls for a natural finish.
From far the building reminds me of the teletubbies house!! While my photo can’t capture it, you can definitely see the landscape with your eyes when you are there.
The curving green roofs distinguish the building from among the other structures on campus (normal looking buildings).
The top of the building can be access by stairs on the exterior of the building.

Lesser-known check-in spots in Singapore, each one is very photogenic!
I shared some traditional Singapore tour routes a few days ago, today let's go for some lesser-known and photogenic places~
📍Red Dot Design Museum Singapore
Located in the center of Singapore, the museum is not big, but it's filled with high-end designs. You can understand cutting-edge ideas from an artistic perspective, and also understand the new world from a technological perspective. It's a great resting spot (even better for sheltering from the rain), but you need to buy a ticket~
📍Candylicious
After visiting the S.E.A Aquarium in Sentosa, you will see this candy house while strolling down the commercial street. The large store is filled with brightly colored candies, and you can't help but feel happy as soon as you enter. It's also very photogenic, and you can take away some cute souvenirs when you leave~
📍Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
This place is relatively far, almost to Malaysia, but it's worth to come and feel the temperament of Singapore's high-end institutions. The architectural design of the entire campus is also worth exploring, from the teaching buildings to the flower gardens and green plants, the design is very ingenious.
Finally, when you come to Singapore, you must check in at their Universal Studios. As you know, each Universal has its own characteristics, and Singapore can let you feel the full tropical style.

Nanyang Technological University 🇸🇬
#singapore
This is one of the best-rated universities in the world. It’s a technical university It is a monument to Singapore who have developed two great universities.
The campus is located on the outskirts of Singapore (about 5 km from Malaysia) and is great. We visited the College of Arts and Designs. They have a great dining hall and public transport. Getting a taxi is annoying here.
Beautiful campus in general. Well-designed and modern - with many places to eat great food. Nature is always on campus and the bus system works well for your wandering around. The commercial building is especially beautiful with chrome and all the water/plan work included in the design.
There are many shuttle buses on campus and to/from Pioneer metro station. However, sloping cliffs can be tiring to walk through.
A great place, a very beautiful architectural masterpiece on this planet
I High recommend visiting this university if you are in Singapore.

Nighttime bustle in vibrant Little India.
1. The bustling Little India at night.
On the first day, I went to Little India and had very authentic Indian cuisine with colleagues who were working together.
Looking back at the photos, I realized that I ate so much, especially those two Indian desserts, which were simply calorie bombs. Although they were too sweet, they were still so delicious that I had in India.
After eating, I walked with Vasanth on the street for a long time, chatting about the customs and culture of India.
During the festival, the highly distinctive Indian lanterns are generously displaying their charm. It feels like being back in the lively atmosphere of the Chinese New Year, with beautiful lanterns, dazzling fireworks, smiling faces all around, a little me, and my still young parents, but unfortunately, it's been a long time ago.
Unlike the more representative Chinese red and gold in Chinatown, the neon lights in Little India seem more colorful and dazzling, like a competition of flowers that overwhelms the eyes. The already colorful buildings and decorations become even more vibrant under the light, and watching this visual feast, one feels as if they have experienced a color explosion, with thousands of color blocks dancing in this monotonous world, until they fall into the depths of the heart.
Although it's already past nine o'clock, Little India Archway Street doesn't feel sleepy at all. On the contrary, it seems to be saying, "Our happy time has just begun."
The place to buy cold drinks is lined up with a long queue, the place to draw Haina is surrounded and crowded, and there are people who come to buy flower wreaths to prepare for the holiday. Every person has a smile on their face, as if there have been no difficulties or pains in their lives. This is completely different from Japan, where there are only tired faces on the tram, listless people on the streets, and people with flushed faces only under the influence of alcohol...
Vasanth said that many people from India come here to relax in the evening, even if it's just for a walk. And most of them stay until late, usually until 11 o'clock, and it's always crowded here.
Looking back at the endless stream of people, and their relaxed and happy expressions, suddenly it seems like I understand why they would want to come here.
2. Sri Srinivasaperumal Temple
Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple is a large Hindu temple in Singapore, dedicated to Lord Vishnu. The tower in front of the temple is about 20 meters high and displays different incarnations of Lord Vishnu.
Shrouded in the night, yet still dazzlingly colorful, still full of lively creatures and myriad forms, still tempting, making people unable to resist walking in.
On the outside, the upper building looks like a cone, with angular layers stacked on top of each other until they form a sharp point. But once inside, you'll find that the upper building looks different from the outer one, with a gorgeous and flat ceiling, intricate and repetitive patterns. Looking up, it feels like falling into the starry sky, surrounded by all sorts of wonders.
Luckily, we caught the ceremony of closing the temple at night, and as the melodious music played, a sense of reverence arose.
🕐Everyday 5:30 am - 9:30 pm
3. Vilamakariram Temple
Located in the heart of Little India, Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple is one of the oldest Hindu temples in Singapore. From afar, you can see the magnificent entrance of the temple, which seems to have a magical power that draws you straight to its front.
Typical South Indian style decoration, with bold and colorful displays of various deities. The most interesting feature is the string of small bells hanging on the temple's entrance. Take off your shoes outside the temple, gently ring the bells, and silently pray in your heart: "God, I have come, please bring me happiness."
This magnificent temple was built in 1855 and is dedicated to the goddess Kali, the wife of Lord Shiva. Kali is revered as the goddess of power, and it would be great to become an equally powerful woman.
After searching around, amidst the dazzling array of statues, I still couldn't figure out which one it was.
Not sure if this is the one, the beautiful shape is somewhat similar, but the guessed location where it sits probably isn't it.
Watching the faint candlelight swaying gently in the breeze, the faces of people holding hope that I just saw appeared in my mind. Suddenly, I thought of a sentence from Elias Canetti, vaguely understanding why he felt that there must be sparks shining in the eyes of those who are in pain, and that those sparks must contain hope. If those sparks go out, he probably wouldn't be able to persevere in the darkness.
🕐Everyday 5:30 am - 9:30 pm
4. Adugaf Mosque
Adul Kafee Mosque is a mosque in Singapore located on Dunlop Street in Little India, near Jalan Besar. It is hidden in a small alley and took some effort to find.
Due to the change in color, the Adudu Kafu Mosque looked completely different from the pictures online, and I even doubted if I had gone to the wrong place. It wasn't until I saw the sign at the entrance and carefully compared its arches and iconic star and moon pattern that I confirmed it was indeed the right place.
Unfortunately, the church was not open, so I could only take a distant look outside the fence.
The streets outside the church are full of restaurants, shopping malls, massage parlors, etc. Lovely murals appear in the corners without surprise. Since you're here, take a stroll first.
5. Chen Dongling's Former Residence
The House of Tan Teng Niah is a villa built by a wealthy Chinese businessman named Tan Teng Niah for his wife in Little India, Singapore in 1900. The villa was originally white, but later painted in colorful colors. Among the colorful Indian buildings, it still stands out like a rainbow, attracting many tourists to stop and take photos.
Although it is indescribable in style on Little India's commercial street, it may be precisely because of this that it can tightly attract the attention of pedestrians. Looking at it from a different perspective, one cannot help but admire Singapore's excellent work in ethnic integration.
6. Tekka Centre, Zhujiao Centre.
Tekka Centre is a multifunctional building complex consisting of a wet market, a food centre, and shops. It is located at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Serangoon Road in Little India, adjacent to the Little India MRT station.
I also stumbled upon it while wandering around, so I went in to take a look and see what the daily life of Indian people in Singapore is like.
I didn't go to the daily necessities area upstairs because I was most interested in food, haha. The market is very large, with a wide range of products, and it feels similar to the vegetable markets in China. Customers can choose their favorite vegetables and fruits, and even bargain with the vendors. The vendors will also clean the fish and cut the meat into small pieces upon request. Walking around, there is a warm and friendly feeling everywhere.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods in the shops, there is an indescribable urge to buy, buy, buy. But considering the full day ahead, I resisted the temptation and only bought a few large mangoes before leaving reluctantly. To be honest, the large mangoes were quite heavy.

Very good longtong hidden in NTU Hall 9 Canteen. The serving is generous and it's value for money at $3. Dish comes with rice cakes, lots of vege and an egg. Longtong gravy is fantastic.
A hidden gem indeed. If you are residing in the west, this is a good place to have a meal during holidays and weekend when it's quiet.#ntu#food

The Hive|Nanyang Technological University
📍 52 Nanyang Ave, 639816
NTU is one of the greatest universities in Asia. Located at the edge of the country. Some said if you stand high in the campus, you could see Malaysia. 🤣
The most famous, most representative attraction in the campus is definitely the Hive, which is also called “Xiao Long Bao” by Chinese students, as it looks just like several Xiao Long Bao.
It’s actually a library.📖 There’re desks and lots of meeting rooms inside. Also there is a coffee store on B1 Floor. Though it’s still impacted by Covid – 19, lots of students are actually having online, but there’re still many students in the Hive. Reading books, having meetings, taking lessons, talking to each other, doing some assignments.
There was also a gift shop on the B1 floor. 🎁There were some NTU t-shirts, hoodies, bags, caps, and many other NTU gifts in the shop. Students would get a discount. Please note it’s definitely not opened on public holiday or weekends.
🚌To reach the Hive, you could take 179 and get off at Yunnan Garden station, or take campus loop, both red line and blue line at innovation center.

Singapore Hong Kong Architecture Nanyang Polytechnic Teaching Building
Singapore Nanyang Technological University Learning Center designed by Heatherwick Studio, is an educational landmark in Singapore. As part of NTU's campus redevelopment program, the Learning Center was designed as a new building that can accommodate 33,000 students. The interior design is different from the format of the corridors in the traditional building, which is connected to each classroom, and adopts a more unique format to accommodate more modern teaching methods. The rapid development of modern digital technology allows learning to be carried out anywhere. The most important function of the building is to make it a place for students and subject professors to gather and communicate, so that they can learn anytime, anywhere. The Learning Center is such a place where students may meet their future business partners or someone who can call him.

We first arrived at the School of Art, Media and Design (School of Art)
