How to visit, step by step
- Take the MRT to Daan Park station (R06), on Xinyi Road along the park's north edge
- Walk the main loop, about 2 km. Some sections may be fenced off for construction, so follow the detour signs
- Stop at the pond to watch birds, then cut through the shaded side paths
- Use the public toilets around the park, and bring mosquito repellent in warm months
- The eco-pond area has its own opening hours, separate from the rest of the park
Don't miss: A slow loop under the big trees, with a pause at the pond.
Best time to go alone: Early morning or late afternoon on a weekday, when it is cooler.
