Скачать или смотреть Fort Canning Park ( SINGAPORE ) 🇸🇬 - A Traveller's Memoirs

Fort Canning Hill, or simply known as Fort Canning, is a prominent hill, about 48 metres high, in the southeast portion of Singapore, within the Central Area that forms Singapore's central business district.


The hill has a long history intertwined with that of the country due to its location as the highest elevation within walking distance to the city's civic district, within the Downtown Core. It is also a popular location for exhibitions, concerts, and outdoor recreation.


It was named after Viscount Charles John Canning, the first Viceroy of India. The Malays called the hill Bukit Larangan or Forbidden Hill since olden times. This is due to the belief that it is the place where the kings of ancient Singapore were laid to rest, and it was believed to be haunted.
