Pasir Ris 
From Singapore Hotels & Singapore Lifestyle
|
Pasir Ris - this "remote" neighbourhood at the extreme east of the island is a classic modern heartland of Singapore. Once, this area was dominated by Malay kampong (villages). The stilted houses are long gone, replaced by modern housing estates and reclamation projects, but the area, particularly Pasir Ris, still has a pleasant atmosphere, with manicured lawns, ma-and-pa stores and attractive seafront parks. Here's where you'll find the moving Changi Prison Museum & Chapel site, a few resorts and theme parks for the kids, a sprinkling of malls and the giant space-age Singapore Expo.
At Changi Village, you'll also find the Changi Point Ferry Terminal for bumboats to Pulau Ubin and Johor in Malaysia
Getting There
Pasir Ris is easily reachable by Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) - it's at the eastern end of the East West Line. From the station, all the attractions are within easy walking distance.
A taxi from the city to Pasir Ris costs about S$15.
