Ann Siang Hill, Singapore

Ann Siang Hill, Singapore. (8 July 2011)


Ann Siang Hill (GPS: 1.28154, 103.84533; Traditional/Simplified Chinese: 安祥山 ) is a small hill in Singapore's Chinatown. It is one of the hills collectively known as Telok Ayer Hills because it was once located beside the Telok Ayer Bay. Other hills within Telok Ayer Hills include Mount Wallich and Mount Erskine.

Mount Wallich and Mount Erskine were no longer around. They were levelled in the 1890s and the land used as landfill to reclaim Telok Ayer Basin. As a result, Telok Ayer Street is now located on dry land, and only Ann Siang Hill was left standing.

Ann Siang Hill had changed name twice. It was originally called Scott's Hill, after Charles Scott who owned a clove and nutmeg plantation there. Ownership passed to John Gemmill, and the hill was renamed Gemmill Hill. In 1894, it was sold to Chia Ann Siang, a wealthy Malacca-born landowner, and once again the name changed, to Ann Siang Hill. It remains Ann Siang Hill to this day.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
