As random gardens / parks go in Singapore … this place is definitely worth a visit. Loads of plants that are well marked, cute little paths to meander around, interesting sculptures and pagodas to get relief from the heat. All in all a great spot!

a good place to destress and its also away from the city

A hidden gem amongst all the wonderful parks across Singapore! Lovingly maintained, it's filled with small trails, each highlighting various elements of biodiversity, plants etc Its not very big in size, and also had a small waterfall adjacent to the Nanyang lake. The only downside was the mosquitoes all around, which made it hard to stand still for long, but maybe it was just me.. If driving in, park your car in front of Hall of Residence 4

After a chance viewing of a youtube video from an ardent jogger recommending “the most beautiful park in SG that no ones go to”, I decided to witness this hidden gem in the west of Singapore that I have not set foot before: Yunnan Garden @ NTU. On a hot and humid Sunday morning, I noticed several groups of visitors ( a significant proportion of them were foreign domestic workers enjoying a slice of tranquility on their off-day ) had already settled into their ideal resting spots under shade. They made good choices indeed, as I gradually immersed myself into the lush beauty of the garden and listened to the cascading sound of a waterfall nearby. Wildlife sighting may not be foremost in people’s minds when they come to visit, but this is my newfound interest and I was delighted to harvest some interesting shots of wildlife found within this garden.

Awesome place. I didn’t expect to see a peaceful and hidden gem nearby NTU. A must visit for aspiring photographers and culture seekers!

Awesome scenery at night. The water and the light creates great atmosphere. The two rows of the coconut trees are so straight and tall. Good to take portrait. At night could have mosquitoes though. And be careful of the path way, it’s relatively small and the side of the wall is not high build. Plus the lighting is not bright.

This garden spring quite a few good surprises for avid walkers who loves walking and admiring plants . Those staying in the west , this is a great place for photos and recharge after a hard days' work . Bring along some insects repellent , just in case .

Beautiful and quaint garden. Very well maintained. Great to enjoy a nice peaceful walk in the evening. Only downside is that there is a lot of road noise from the highway nearby. No play areas for kids.

Lovely garden. It's especially beautiful during golden hour. I enjoy sitting under the pavilions and hearing the cicadas. It's just a little unfortunate that the traffic sounds are quite loud even in the middle of the garden.

It’s a really nice garden to walk in, with many mini-trails available. It’s like a mini Botanical Gardens in my opinion! Can be quite sunny/hot in the afternoon, but plus point is that there are fewer people walking around too. The mini waterfall is the highlight in my opinion. You can view it from above, in front of it directly (on the pathway), or get closer to it by walking off-path (don’t encourage this because if many do it, the grass patches get eroded eventually; but I’ve seen others do it). The 1955 Nanyang gate at the parameter of the gardens is also a nice photo spot. If you can’t find it, just walk closer to the areas where you hear vehicular traffic noise.

This is a place of quiet and relaxable , it has nice walk way and scenery . Suitable for family visit .

This oldest university campus garden Singapore is small, compact, quiet, peaceful, beautiful and clean. This garden located in NTU campus. The footpaths and boardwalks in the garden weave through the garden, with special info kiosks, Chinese traditional designed pavilions and modern breakout decks for resting appreciating the scenery and biodiversity. Each path is a thematic, botanical learning trail, highlighting the significance of Asian plants. Can reach directly by bus no 195 from Jurong Point Interchange. Also reach by bus no 99 from Joo Koon Interchange and nearest bus stop is Xingnan primary school which is 3- 5 min walk away from the garden.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy the nature.

Small park but with many photogenic locations. A great place for westsiders to chill and relax. Located inside NTU campus.

Really beautiful in the morning 🌄 and evening 🌆. Highly encourage everyone to check out the waterfall, Nanyang Lake and the pavilions.

We were there taking group photo n saw a few group ppl taking photoes too! Its neither big nor fantastic. Its inside NTU campus. The Hive just beside the guarden is worth 2 take look. The design is award winning.

beautiful gardens with many pavilions and sceneries. lots of fishes and places to rest. there is a waterfall feature and a boardwalk that links to nanyang lake.

This is an absolutely nice place in Singapore. I love to spend time in early morning.

Lovely garden to hang around. Feel like you can find your inner peace from here. Got some historical structures around with signs that might be interesting to look at. A few seats are available around the place.

Nicely renovated since I graduated years ago. Great place for a morning walk.

After an intensive redo of this garden, it has been transformed into a really beautiful one with cascading waterfall and nice lake. great for a morning/ evening walk if you live nearby

Quite a cool place to visit if you are around the area! The park and it's beautiful surroundings give you a chance to be transported back in time :) A little out of place for those who do not stay in the west but I'm sure you can Google your way here if you want to!

Good: 1. Awesome little hidden gem @ west side. 2. Photograph worthy pavilions and Nanyang arch. 3. Artificial waterfall on the way to Nanyang Lake. 4. Water fountain at one of the pavilions. 5. Right next to the bus stand. Bus #179 to Boon Lay interchange. Bad: 1. No restroom 2. Small size for any decent walk / run. 3. Walkways are pretty narrow.

Clear pathway, well pruned and it was an amazing experience. Lots of pagodas scattered around. A beautiful waterfall too! It is also well lit at night. It connects to Nanyang Lake!

Didn’t know this beautiful garden exist at NTU, very beautiful garden with plenty of plants and flowers.

Great place to have a family walk with nice scenery. Water falls, different plants and flowers to see . A pavilion to have a rest.

The newly refurnished Yunnan Garden in NTU is really beautiful. The extent of Nanyang Lake has been greatly enlarged and cleaned up. Give it a few years for the trees to grow up and we will have a beautiful and shady garden precinct =) There is also a canteen next to the garden where you can enjoy a hot meal a cold drink or coffee tea =)

Big garden with a nice waterfall. By the side of NTU near PIE. Bus stop for service 179 within walking distance.

Renovated a few years back. Good for photo taking and close to NTU.

Nice ambience

New garden is fabulous!

Nice place

Nice garden

Very nice place

Wait for campus bus

Lovely place for walk, found a nice Artificial waterfall there.

The Nanyang Lake is worth a visit and saw fish that is blue in colour for the first time.

A restful place

Nice place

Nice area for romantic walk

A good place to relax and take some snaps

A small park with a chinese cultural feel for short walk rayher then a excercise park. gd .during day time it hot though. . Places where the instiuition use the park to plant differing species of plants for research purpose .

I’ll change this once I go there

Can spent 1 hour at this place. Quiet and relax

Beautiful ...great walk!

The Yunnan Garden is now upgraded and connected to the lake. The whole garden is now very pleasant and pleasing to the eyes.

Very nice...

Love this garden which is a great place to run or walk in the heart of NTU. waterfalls, lakes, fauna and flora -- all decorating this vast space.

(Translated by Google) clean (Original) 乾淨

Nice plants and walk ; sure again construction works everywhere symptomatic for Singapore.

Good scenery fresh air safe enjoying natural environment.

Relax place in Jurong west

Very pretty and cooling, went at night.

One could only wish for clear skies but the lights made up for the lack of twinkles.

NTU's very own blood donation drive. Except here you are donating blood to mosquitoes.

Fabulous campus with a great environment for higher studies!

The newly upgraded gardens is really nice and lush with plants and is teeming with fishes.

A lot of local herbal

Excellent Greenery and life full of fresh breath

Small scale, quiet park with numerous greenery. Even though we visited at peak hours e.g. 6pm, the park was pretty isolated. We only strolled through the herbs trail 1 and 2 and were attacked by mosquitoes. The gardens seem to have lots of mosquitoes everywhere. We only managed to walk through about 1/3 of it (less than 20 minutes) and we couldn't take the mosquitoes anymore. It would have been great if not for the insects as it had been interesting to see the different types of herbs. There is a miniature artificial waterfall in the gardens too. Parallel parking are available along the stretch of Residence Hall 4.

We liked food paradise, M'sian young boys are polite & cheerful.

Good to jog

My alam mater

Things NTU does after making money from students!

I love this place

Beautifully done up with a waterfall feature.

Great place to visit, have a picnic and take a stroll for an hour or so. Bring insect repellent - i got bitten in 5-6 areas because I didn't do so.

Sad to see pple ignoring "no feeding" of fishes in the ponds. The park has a amazing variety of beautiful fishes, the operator must have put in a lot of effort in keeping these fishes healthy. As for those insist feeding, hope the authority can stop them. Also, SDV are much needed to ask pple to put on their masks.

If u stay in Jurong area, it's quite close to you. Getting there was quite a challenge. MRT to Boon lay, but MRT under maintenance. Shuttle bus provided. Alright at Pioneer station and bus 179. The Chinaman bus driver don't know a word of English!! Asked him Yunan and he got annoyed... he dunno how to explain. Should send him back to learn better manners before coming back here again. Otherwise, the place is ok ok only.... Not really worth the travel if you stay in the East side.

This park was very near to NTU,walking distance only and very nice to all student,they can go and relax yo this park...nice and peaceful...lots and lots of fishes..

Good moment

The perfect place to find peace and tranquility in NTU

Nice place

empty place. no wildlife, except fishes. plus point is there's a waterfall inside. Lack shelter and not ideal to visit on a hot or rainy day.

Good place for photo taking

Lovely

💖👍😁

👍👍👍👍👍

Good

Great place to take photos

Nice garden . Peaceful place free entry .

Nice place

A beautiful and chill place to be at. Being there also reminds people the history of Nanyang University.

nice place to meditate

Serene location. Love the landscape and scenery.

Such nice places,can relaxing during my off day

Very nice park.

A quiet and out of way garden park inside NTU campus. There are 2 main sections. The newer section with the lake and walkway bridges and children playground is further inside. You can see The Hive, waterfall, fountains, ponds, pavilions, willows, and eight Chinese characters on the slopes and get bitten by mosquitoes. If you need a good and quiet place for relaxing walk you can go there in the evening. The park is open 24 hours but it quite dark at night due to insufficient artifical lighting.

It is really rare to find such an awesome garden in NTU👍👏💪

Beautiful serene place. Feels like you are transported to somewhere else. Quite a few flies though. Can spend more than half hour here. Theres also a food court for students if you want to eat something.

beautiful walkways and planting designs

Small garden with man made waterfalls . You probably finished walking within 15mins.

Really nice place

Nice place i like to go there

But the fishes r dying of hunger. Saw two dead fish

Upgrading not yet completely done so only some area is beautifully

Nice garden...

Peaceful environment

Worth going with family once.

Nice morning walk

It is the best garden in Singapore. The fish pond is full of different types of fish. The garden is new and full of interest plants. Must visit if you are near by.

It is small garden but it very beautiful design and detail.. To get the place just take public bus 179 from Pioner Mrt

My morning briskwalk favourite venue. Great place to do my grounding (earthing) . Love the spice garden with the flora & fauna and not forgetting the 5 metre man-made waterfall..

Pretty sceneries. Went there with family. Kids having fun running around. Lots of mosquitoes. Or was it just sticky sweaty kids? 🤔

A beautiful small park, there is a playground and can see the china museum building, a waterfall that makes it very beautiful like in the mountains. Yunnan Garden located around a bit far from NTU Singapore

A cool spot in NTU, not worth making a trip to NTU to see, but if you're already there for some reason, it's a cool spot to chill at and take some pictures!

Calming garden Easly to take from public bus too But unfortunatly there is no toilet

Quiet place when we came during the weekday evening. Great for walks and enjoying the lush greenery and waterfall.

beautiful park to hangout with your buddies or just spacing out yourself. there are red gazebo that has few seats and table if you want to have a lunch or snack. very contrast with the park that full of green. also there is mini waterfalls. you could take mesmerizing picture over there.

Nice quiet place to rejuvenate your senses and perhaps your soul.
