Alexandra Canal, Singapore

Alexandra Canal, Singapore (30 July 2017)


Alexandra Canal (GPS: xxzz) is a 1.2-kilometer concrete canal in central Singapore. It stretches from Tanglin Road to Delta Road and Prince Charles Crescent. The canal can be considered the upper reaches of the Singapore River, though the Singapore River is defined to start only after Kim Seng Bridge.

The Alexandra Canal has undergone repairs and improvements over the decades. This has helped to alleviate flooding from the river and improve drainage along its course. The banks of the canal have also been beautified and landscaped. There is even a water cascade near Tanglin Road.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
