This route is basically the Rail Corridor. But since it's too short, I decided to make this route see 3 countries: Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. hence romance of three kingdoms. Starting at Woodlands North, we made our way to Rasa Istimewa and the Woodlands Waterfront Park. Then we went to see the ICA checkpoint, then Marsiling Park, and finally reaching the start of the Rail Corridor near Kranji. We followed it all the way to Bukit Panjang, then Hillview, then Beauty World, then Buona Vista, and finally ending at Tanjong Pagar train station.
We ate lunch at Hillion Mall (Soup Spoon), and dinner at Vivo (doesn't really matter I think). Of course, you can have food at Star Vista, Bukit Timah, and Alexandra.
There was one BIG problem for this route. IT IS NOT PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY. In the first half of the Rail Corridor, there were two distinct points in Sungei Kadut and Yew Tee where there were no traffic lights that allowed us to cross easily. With large trucks speeding, we didn't want to risk it. So we had to make a big detour to find a traffic light. That was a good 5-10 minutes detouring just to find a suitable traffic light. The middle section was fine, though, as the path was totally clear all the way till we reached Buona Vista. Nice and natural paths, with lots of bollards that indicated our distance covered. All was fine until we reached the end, when the fire nation attacked. Because of the construction of the Circle Line part 5 or 6, the path was all blocked around the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. We simply couldn't find our way to VivoCity, and ended up walking for an additional maybe 2km? Big waste of time. We would've made it to Vivo, or maybe even Sentosa, if it weren't for the construction. Pain.
Hais just jaywalk lor at the junctions. The detours were very far away. And also, wait until the Circle Line is completed, so that it is easier to move about.
