Worth a visit, its a short train ride from the city, alight at Chinese Garden station (East West line, going towards Joo Koon). Beautiful place to spend a few hours wandering around, away from the high rises of the city.

When come to Chinese and Japanese garden, remember to bring along coins and also your camera. Singapore is a humid country, sometimes when it get hot and you need to quench your thirst. There are vending machines around the park. There are some ice cream vendors at the entrances of the park. The park have a lot of beautiful flowers... More

Some reviews will tell you that the Chinese and Japanese Gardens aren't so wonderful compared to the Botanic Gardens. I think that's a fair criticism, but on the other hand it takes a lot longer to get to the Botanic Gardens. Yes, there is an MRT, but you're right up the end of the line and it's a huge slog... More

The gardens makes a great place for a good stroll and the view is fantastic. Those who loves landscape photography would love this place. The facts that it is just a step away from the MRT and free are definitely a bonus. It is best to go early in the morning or wait for late afternoon/sunset as noon sun can... More

this garden was very easy to go to. just use MRT (EW line /green line) and alight directly in front of the garden. when the sky is clear, it is very hot but the view is great especially if you like to visit culture site. At the chinese garden it has few statues of famous and inspirational character like hua... More

Too far from town, nothing special. Can get the same experience from going to China Town or yet go to Botanics Garden or Orchids Garden to see exotic orchids.

if asked about a good park in Singapore, most people will direct you to the Botanic gardens. Yes, this is a nice park but the chinese and Japanese gardens, far less popular, are a real hidden gem. Beautiful gardens well maintained and offering classic Chinese and Japanese architecture and garden designs. There are lovely spots to picnic, a fish pond... More
