The Rail Corridor (Hillview Section) is one of Singapore’s most unique green spaces,
combining natural beauty with rich historical charm. Once part of the old KTM railway line
connecting Singapore and Malaysia, this section has been carefully preserved and
transformed into a heritage trail. It’s a favorite among cyclists, joggers, photographers, and
anyone who loves exploring Singapore’s green side.
This part of the Rail Corridor features restored railway bridges, forested walkways, and
open paths surrounded by lush greenery. Visitors can enjoy a peaceful escape while
walking or cycling along a route that tells the story of Singapore’s transport history.
