Pulau Ubin 乌敏岛, is the second largest off shore island of Singapore, after the well known , Sentosa Island in term of area. Located off the North Eastern end of Singapore, it has an area of 1020 hectares, in a rough sharp of a boomberang. Its core geological make up is granite over five smaller islands, interspersed by low lying mangroves and the tidal rivers. The tidal rivers were bunded for prawn breediing thereby connected all those smaller islands into a single island known as Pulau Ubin.
So how do you get there ? Go to Changi ferry point , take a ferry of coz , is just 5 mins and is only $2.50 !
What is there ?
For the types of activities which one can engage on the island, you can consider the followings:
1) cycling to various destinations on the island
2) mountain biking at purpose designed tracks with routes of varying degree of difficulty
3) visit to chek jawa which is at the eastern tip of Pulau Ubin - about an hour on foot or about 40 minutes riding a bicycle or about 10 minutes by a van ($4-$6 per person each way)
4) tracking on the island - following the road and established paths
5) bird watching
6) nature photography and nature walk , including the specially designed sensory trail
7) fishing
8) stars gazing
9) camping at designated campsites (with toilet facilites)
10) enjoying a seafood meal
11) sampling local durians (only during fruiting season)
i dont see anybody doing bird watching there . HAHAHAHA .
Anws , i did number 1 , 3 , and mayb 4 ?
So now what is Chek Jawa ?
Chek Jawa the “ Jade” of Singapore as I would describe it given this is the very last piece of “ green “ to be kept away from urbanisation. It was gazetted for reclamation in 1992 for the purpose of expanding Pulau Ubin for housing and recreational purpose .Chek Jawa is made up of 6 interdependent ecosystems – namely , its Coastal Hill Forest, the Mangrove Forest, its Rocky Shore, the Sandy Shore and Sand Bar , the Seagrass in the Lagoon and the Coral Rubble . Within each of the above ecosystems there is an abundance of natural living creatures and rare plants and birds - local and migratory birds .These have attracted photographs enthusiasts and nature lovers , student groups and civil / social groups to visit Chek Jawa and documenting their visit by way of photos capture. Many are posted at their respective blogs / websites, sharing their visitation experiences and encounters.Chek Jawa is opened from 8.30 am till 6pm daily . From the Ubin Ferry Point , one could walk to Chek Jawa ( about 40 minutes ) , rent a bicycle or be a passenger on one of those vans awaiting for their customers next to the information kiosk ( near the Ubin Ferry Point ). A visit to Chek Jawa, one should be sun protected from the hot sun and mosquito - a hat and mosquito repellent and a bottle of water are the basics preparation , aside from arming yourself with a camera for an eye opening experience. ( yes and we didnt bring mosquito repellent .)
