Woodlands, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Woodlands (GPS: 1.43819, 103.78895) is the northernmost township (or "planning area" in local administrative nomenclature) in Singapore. The name "Woodlands" is said to come from the appearance of the area as seen from the coast. The area was full of keranji trees (Dialium spp.) resembling woods or forest. Woodlands is part of the Sembawang Town Council.

Woodlands is located in Singapore Postal District 25.

Woodlands is bordered by the Straits of Johor in the north, Sembawang in the east, Mandai in the south and Sungei Kadut in the west.

The planning area of Woodlands is divided into 9 neighbourhoods, called subzones. They are Greenwood Park, Midview, North Coast, Senoko West, Woodgrove, Woodlands East, Woodlands Regional Centre, Woodlands South and Woodlands West.

Among the sights at Woodlands include Causeway Point, one of the largest shopping malls in Singapore, and Singapore Sports School, a school dedicated to nurture the nation's sporting talent. Republic Polytechnic, Innova Junior College and Singapore American School are some of the education institutions located here.

Woodlands is next to Sembawang New Town and Sungei Kadut Industrial Estate. It is linked by the Causeway to Johor Bahru in Malaysia. Neighbourhoods in Woodlands include Admiralty, Marsiling, Woodgrove and Woodlands.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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