A trip to Pulau Ubin<\/a> is like stepping back in time. This rustic island, one of the last rural areas in Singapore, offers a glimpse into the country’s kampong (village) lifestyle that existed before urbanisation. The island’s star attraction is the Chek Jawa Wetlands, a rich ecosystem teeming with wildlife. From biking along the island’s rugged paths to birdwatching in the wetlands, Pulau Ubin offers a slice of nature that’s hard to find in the city.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
