Simei (GPS: 1.33991, 103.94947) is a housing estate on the eastern part of Singapore. It is located between Tampines proper to the north and Bedok to the south. Simei is regarded as a subzone of Tampines.

The name Simei means "four beauties" in Mandarin. It refers to the "Four Beauties of Ancient China" - four women from ancient China who were renowned for their beauty. Originally, the streets in Simei were named after these four women, Xishi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan and Yang Guifei. However, they were simplified to simply Simei Streets 1 to 6 after they were deemed too difficult for non-Chinese people to pronounce.

Simei is bordered by the Pan Island Expressway to the north and Upper Changi Road East to the south. The two main roads in Simei are Simei Avenue and Simei Road. Eastpoint Mall is the shopping mall serving the Simei township. It is located next to the Simei MRT station. Its anchor tenant is NTUC Fairprice supermarket, which occupies the basement level.

Getting there

Take the East-West Line of the Singapore MRT to the Simei MRT Station (EW3).

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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