Bukit Brown - a little piece of land that nature has reclaimed

For those that love nature and are not Squeamish about visiting peaceful places where people rest their bodies after they pass on, the Bukit Brown cemetery is a haven in Singapore.
Bukit Brown is an old abandoned Chinese cemetery off Sime Road and Kheam Hock Road. I feel that it is one of the best kept secrets in Singapore.

As it is an old cemetery, nature has reclaimed much of the place with trees and bushes providing a very lush green canopy and foliage.

I have been there many times; walking, jogging, cycling, running with my dog (he loves the place!). Many of the times I visit Bukit Brown, I have seen birds like kingfishers, monitor lizards, squirrels etc. Bird watching lovers, bring your guide book and a good camera as there are amazing residents in the trees and flying around here.
