Toa Payoh is a planning area in Singapore that literally means a “big swamp.” Having said that, the neighborhood is quite simpler and quieter than other parts of Singapore. It might be filled with residential buildings and shopping malls, but there are more interesting places to look at like its very own Jurassic Park, The legendary ‘Ci Ern Ge’ tree shrine in Toa Payoh Central, and the historical Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery.
