Kampong Lorong Buangkok

Tucked away in a corner in urban Singapore is a slice of village living that has barely been touched by modern life.

Kampong Lorong Buangkok is the last surviving kampong (Malay for village) on mainland Singapore.

The village is made up of wooden huts with zinc roofs, many of them empty as most families have since moved out.

Chickens pecking away on the narrow dirt roads are a common sight. A picture of idyllic charm, the village is popular with photography enthusiasts hoping to capture a part of old Singapore before it fades away.

Me and 2 other friends tried to look for it today but we realised we were on the wrong track!! >-(

We walked in from Buangkok Link instead of Gerald Drive. But anyway glad to know it's not demolished yet!! :-D

The place is indeed a holy grail for photo travelers and the like because of its barely untouched scenery. A few promotions of this place can increase the visitors.
