This month, let’s go West!
In the past years, it is rare that our monthly walks is towards this direction.<\/p>\n
Where? in this highly urbanized city we lived in to find a place that flows with greenery, peace, calm and
Serenity…. A gem in the West, of pristine beauty – Jurong Lake and its Gardens! <\/p>\n
It is one of the "Destination Parks" that will get a massive makeover – expect significant development that
will transformed it into the next big suburban commercial hub.<\/p>\n
Let us troop down to Jurong Lake, a 70ha freshwater lake and reservoir to enjoy its breathtaking view
before the day draws near where this area is further enhanced, changed forever! ![\"emoticon\"](\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/ohmy.gif\")

Along the perimeter of Jurong Lake, a landscaped sanctuary Park was completed in 2006.
Pause, take in the sights across glistening waters …… see families, friends chatting under shade of
trees, strolling at leisure in the park, children frolic around with laughter, kite flying, fishing……
uhmmm…… breathe in, to energize the following week’s hustle and bustle.
Look out for clusters of older banyan tress where their aerial prop roots spread out laterally like a small
fence along certain fringe of the lake, where the trunks are covered with an orangy hue – rarely found
or seen in Singapore. <\/p>\n
As one stroll into one of the Jurong Gardens found within the Lake, time stood still in nostalgia……….
step onto the ‘Pai Hung Ch’iao’ Bridge, the white rainbow, 13-Arch Bridge; though this bridge is shorter
than the famous 17-Arch Bridge at the Summer Palace in Peking, it still maintains the magnificent
architectural design of a typical beautiful bridge found in China. <\/p>\n
Stay cool Be cool! ![\"emoticon\"](\"https:\/\/silverhairsclub.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/Wysi-Wordpress\/plugins\/emotions\/images\/cool.gif\")
