Superhero Library
Where: 436 Yishun Avenue 11
You don’t need to look too far for the good-old Singaporean kampung spirit: this 24/7 community library offers volumes of sci-fi, fantasy, non-fiction, and even magazines for readers of all ages! You can bring a book or two home (for free!) if you’d like, but the volunteers running the space highly encourage visitors to ~be a hero~ and donate in kind.

Yishun Dam
Where: Yishun Avenue 1
This spot’s hard to reach, but Gojek can get you there. And honestly? It’s worth the trip: let your worries melt away as you take in views of the Johore Strait or Lower Seletar Reservoir. You might get some people-watching in with picnickers and joggers, but keep an eye out for local wildlife and flights from nearby Seletar Airport!

Yishun Park Hawker Centre
Where: 51 Yishun Avenue 11
There’s no better way to round off a day trip than with a scrumptious dinner, and we can’t think of a better place to be spoiled for choice than Yishun Park Hawker Centre. Amongst the mix of old- and new-generation hawkers, look out for gems like har cheong gai wings and restaurant-standard Western grilled dishes.
