Lim Chu Kang, Rural planning area in North Region, Singapore
Lim Chu Kang is a rural planning area in northwestern Singapore that features farmland and training grounds spread across open countryside. The zone has wide agricultural fields and natural spaces that set it apart from the developed urban core nearby.
The village was founded by a Chinese immigrant from Fujian who settled along Sungei Kranji's banks. Over time, the settlement grew into an agricultural region that is now evolving to serve Singapore's food production needs in a modern way.
The area shows traditional farming methods that locals still practice today, visible in how the fields are organized and maintained. Walking through, you see how agriculture shapes daily life and remains central to the community's identity.
You can reach the area by Bus 975 or the Kranji Countryside Shuttle, which connect to local farms. The terrain is fairly open and easy to walk through, making it simple to explore the farming landscape on foot.
The area is being reshaped into a high-tech agricultural hub where new farming methods are being tested and developed. This shift shows how a traditional farming space is becoming a center for food production innovation.
