Singapore Haji Lane\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was actually kind of shock on my recent trip to Haji Land, to see the alleys wall full with art graffiti and colorful street arts. \u00a0This place is full of vibrant and energy and I was very excited to find out more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Haji Lane is still around Kampong Glam neighborhood, a buzzing and hipster neighborhood I would say. \u00a0The name of the area is coming\u00a0from the tree, called “gelam” in Malay. \u00a0But to me, now the “Glam” is more for Glamour \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Tourists normally stop by Singapura Club to have a cold beer after hours of walking around the neighborhood. \u00a0There are also some local and Indian cuisine if you need food to fill your tummy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This neighborhood is the hidden gem in Singapore which is\u00a0filled up with quirky shops, local restaurants and colorful bars. \u00a0If you have friends coming from abroad, this is a great place to show them around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
