Queenstown (Simplified Chinese: 女皇镇, Traditional Chinese: 女皇鎮, Pinyin: Nǚhuáng Zhèn; Tamil: குவீன்ஸ்டவுன்) is a planning area in the Central Region of Singapore. It covers 20.43 square kilometers.

Queenstown is located in Singapore Postal District 03.
Queenstown is bordered by Bukit Timah in the north, Tanglin in the northeast, Bukit Merah in the east, the coast facing the Southern Islands in the south, and Clementi in the west. The planning area is divided into 15 neighbourhoods called subzones. Their names are Commonwealth, Dover, Ghim Moh, Holland Drive, Kent Ridge, Margaret Drive, Mei Chin, National University of Singapore, One North, Pasir Panjang 1, Pasir Panjang 2, Port, Queensway, Singapore Polytechnic and Tanglin Halt.
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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
