A Futuristic Escape to Forest City, Johor Bahru
#johorbahrutrip
Visiting Forest City in Johor Bahru felt like stepping into a vision of the future—a sleek, green metropolis rising by the sea. Built with bold ambition and wrapped in lush tropical landscaping, the entire city gave off an otherworldly vibe, blending futuristic architecture with eco-conscious planning.
As I explored the tree-lined boulevards and manicured gardens, I was struck by how serene the atmosphere felt. The buildings were covered in vertical greenery, and everything from the roads to the waterfront promenade was designed with harmony and aesthetics in mind. Pedestrian bridges, water canals, and clean open spaces connected different parts of the city seamlessly, offering scenic spots to pause and admire the surroundings.
One of the highlights was the coastal boardwalk, where I watched the waves roll in while a gentle breeze carried the scent of the sea. The skyline, though modern, never felt overwhelming—it was softened by thoughtful landscaping and peaceful views of the water. Families, joggers, and cyclists shared the space, all moving at a slower, more intentional pace.
Stopping by one of the cafés near the waterfront, I sat back with a drink and watched the city hum quietly in the background. The sunlight filtered through palm trees, and I couldn’t help but admire how Forest City balanced modernity with tranquility. It wasn’t just a place to visit—it felt like a glimpse into what a greener, more peaceful urban future could look like.
