New Observation Site in Yio Chu Kang

Post by Airconvent »

Found a very flat and big field at the junction of Jalan Kayu and Yio Chu Kang Road. It has an unobstructed view of the East and very ideal as an observation site near my house...
For those who live in Hougang, Sengkang or ang mo kio, worth a look...

ok.. u can take bus 70 to go there.. just a few stops away from your place.. :D

after the Jln Kayu junction, bus 70 go straight then a couple more stops can alight..

actually at the Jalan Kayu and Yio Chu Kang Road that junction, there's one big piece of open field that can also used for stargrazing...
