We went on a photo trip and got to know more about Singapore's oldest town- Toa Payoh. 

Here are some recommendations for a little walk within the town central.

1. Blk 79

Perched up high on the highest HDB ( government flats) from Block 79A to 79E in Toa Payoh Central with a height of 40 stories. It is definitely amazing to locate a panoramic sky garden up among the flats st level 12 and to realize that this concept happens way back when the town hall was first built in the 80s, before Pinnacle @Duxton was even conceptualized. 

The tallest building looking right in your face from afar is the Housing Development Board ( HDB) Main office.

If you are lucky, you can catch some colors of the skies. 

Here's to the right of the HDB building...

2. Block 157 

We then went to the area where Block 153 to 157 is. These blocks are known for it's curved structured and a rather short with a one way narrow corridor 

From the highest floor, it overlooks to the Toa Payoh Bus Interchange.

And also overlooks to the Toa Payoh Tower located inside the Toa Payoh Park. No longer opening to public, it was known to offer spectacular views of the park, standing at a height of 27m.

Yes, barely noticeable upon surrounded by the taller cousins around. 

A typical Singaporean Lifestyle

More photos from the block itself, along the walkway. 

Finally, walk towards the Toa Payoh Swimming pool's direction and along Lorong 6 Toa Payoh road to reach the Dragon Playground.

An iconic representation of Toa Payoh with its vivid colors and all.

The little tour ends here, there after which you can head back to Toa Payoh Central for a makan break.

Have fun exploring Singapore!
