Geylang

Geylang features perpendicular lanes extending from its main road, lined with traditional shophouses and modern residential buildings across north and south sections.

The area transformed from a swampy terrain inhabited by fishermen in 1819 to a developed urban district through the Housing Development Board scheme of the 1960s.

The district contains multiple religious structures, including the Lian Shan Shuang Lin Temple and Al Junied Mosque, representing the local multicultural population.

Eight MRT stations and numerous bus routes serve the area, with connections to major expressways like Pan Island Expressway and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway.

The neighborhood maintains its traditional street naming system and hosts night food markets where visitors can sample local specialties until late hours.
