Things to Do in Bishan
Bishan is a park town: a river you can walk beside, a library that looks like a treehouse and a swimming pool for a dollar — with MacRitchie a few stops away.
Always in Bishan
Bishan, any day of the week
A river you can walk beside, a library that looks like a treehouse and a cheap swim — with MacRitchie a few stops away.

Good to know 🤔
Is there a hawker centre in Bishan?+
Not one of its own. The government’s answer is Shunfu Mart Food Centre at Blk 320 Shunfu Road, with the hawker centres at Blk 341 Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 and Blk 210 Toa Payoh Lorong 8 nearby.
Can I cycle from Bishan to the city?+
Yes — the 7.87km Kallang Park Connector runs from Bishan along the Kallang River to Kallang Riverside Park. Some crossings are overhead bridges where you may need to push your bike, and a stretch near St Michael’s estate is diverted for construction until the second half of 2027.
