This route is a scenic walk through Whampoa and Boon Keng, towards Kallang and the stadium. It includes walking across the Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
It is interesting to observe the peaceful morning life during the walk through the old neighbourhoods of Whampoa and Boon Keng. Stop by for a coffee at Whampoa Food Centre, Bendemeer Market & Food Centre or Upper Boon Keng Market & Food Centre. After passing Kallang, the scene changes to the Marina Bay area. The walk across the two sections of Benjamin Sheares Bridge that is over Marina Bay offers a great view of Marina Bay and Gardens By The Bay.
Can extend the walk simply by wandering around Marina Bay Sands, or head towards Gardens By The Bay and return by Gardens by the Bay MRT Station (TE22) instead.
