(12) Jurong Woods II

This is a new macro site discovered on 24 July 2010 by Kyaw Htay & Anthony Quek.  It is just about 300m away from Jurong Woods, so we shall call it Jurong Woods II.  Similar to Jurong Woods, it is a quite and cooling place to shoot macro without any distraction. 

There are lots of wild flowers there attracting many different bugs and insects.  We heard that this site is also a very good hunting ground for butterfly shooters.

Meeting Point:

Lakeside MRT station. There is a bus-stop just outside the Lakeside MRT station. Next to it is a passenger pick-up point and we shall meet here. Thereafter, we will ferry those who are not driving to the macro site which is about 5 to 10 mins away.

Getting There (for those who wish to go there directly):
(A) By Car - At the end of Corporation road, turn right to Jurong West Ave 2. You will soon see a Nursery Home on the left. A few metre away, turn left into Jurong Road (Don't turn right which will lead you to PIE). The entrance of Jurong Woods macro site (See image below) is about 400 metres away. You can park your car along the roadside.

(B) By Bus - Take Bus No. 174 from Boon Lay MRT Terminal.
