- Kranji Farmway
The trek to Kranji Farmway Countryside is hectic but it is worth it if you’re looking for a Singapore that is different from the one that is featured in a regular Singapore travel guide. These farms here have been preserved to retain the authenticity of Singapore’s early days. You can pick some of the fresh local produce, drink fresh goat milk and be dazzled by the array of fish at Qian Hu Corporation. You can tour the farm for a better understanding of the local produce. Apart from visiting the different farms, there is also an enthralling heritage trail around Kranji with traces of its role in World War II. The farms offer accommodation, spa as well as barbeque facilities.

- Pulau Ubin
Pulau Ubin is located just 10 minutes away from Singapore by bumboat and it gives a peek into the quaint yesteryears of Singapore with its nature trails, kampung houses, and zigzag roads that make it a favorite among cycling enthusiasts. Cycling is the best way to explore the island where you will enjoy getting lost as you carve your way through forested trails and come across the occasional lookout point of the gorgeous quarries. If you are a nature lover, take a break at Chek Jawa, the largest intertidal flat in Singapore, which plays host to several ecosystems such as the mangrove, sandy beach, coastal forest, sand flats, mudflats, and coral rubble, and is filled with wildlife. The place offers homely restaurants offering fresh and delicious seafood.

- Kampong Lorong Buangkok
If you want to experience off the beaten paths in Singapore away from the hustle-bustle of the city, Kampong Lorong Buangkok is a must-visit. It is often referred to as the ‘last village in Singapore’ and gives you an insight into the real world of the old city. The village is nestled away from the skyscrapers of Singapore and the locals here live a laid-back and simple lifestyle. This small village is home to around thirty Malay families, who live in the surroundings as livestock, wooden houses, and gardens. Kampong Lorong Buangkok is a refreshing throwback to how village life was for Singapore. This village gives you a sense of just how enormously and rapidly the city of Singapore has transformed over the years.

- Haw Par Villa
Haw Par Villa is a colorful theme park that was started in 1937. It can charm you with its old architecture. It represents mythological stories in figurine form. It tells some of the most well-known stories in Chinese tradition though Haw Par Villa is now not visited by many travelers due to various other popular and vibrant attractions in the city. If you’re wandering past the old theatres, you’ll randomly see life-sized statues peeking out at you. With the masses flocking to Universal Studios, Haw Par Villa is included as an off-beaten path in Singapore though it is an important place for the Chinese traditional and mythological stories.
