#SingaporeAttractions The Kranji War Memorial is located in the northwest of Singapore and was established to commemorate the Commonwealth soldiers who died defending Singapore during the Second World War. The memorial is surrounded by peaceful gardens and features a magnificent cemetery where thousands of soldiers from many different countries are buried. The design of the memorial is simple and solemn. The names of the soldiers are engraved on the monument, making people feel the heaviness and solemnity of history. This is not only a reflection on history, but also a profound respect for peace. Here, visitors can quietly recall history and experience the suffering and sacrifices of that time.

Kranji Reservoir is located in the northwest of Singapore and is a great place to relax and enjoy nature. The scenery here is very charming, with vast lakes and lush greenery, making it an ideal place for leisurely walks, picnics, or watching the sunset. Visitors can experience a different, tranquil atmosphere of Singapore away from the urban hustle. There are many facilities by the lake, including jogging paths and viewing platforms, making it suitable for family outings. There are also some interesting historical sites, such as the Kranji War Memorial, which helps visitors learn more about Singapore's historical background.

The Memorial stands in Kranji War Cemetery. Kranji War Cemetery is 22 kilometres north of the city of Singapore, on the north side of Singapore Island overlooking the Straits of Johore. It is located just to the West of the Singapore-Johore road (Bukit Timah Expressway) on Woodlands Road, just to the south of the crossroads with Turf Club Avenue and Kranji Road. There is a short approach road from the main road. The Cemetery is known locally as Kranji Memorial, and one must be sure of the address before boarding a taxi as many taxi drivers do not know the Cemetery. There are also bus stops on the main road facing the Cemetery. The Kranji MRT (train) terminal is a short distance from the Cemetery, approximately 10 to 15 minutes away by foot. A previous visitor has advised us that a small map of the route can be obtained from the MRT ticket office. #singaporetrip
