Yio Chu Kang
Yio Chu Kang is a historic residential district in Singapore. There are no shopping malls, commercial buildings, or other than residential estates and schools in this part of Singapore. A section of Yio Chu Kang spans into District 28, and the two areas overlap.
Interestingly, the name “Yio Chu Kang” did not allude to any historical figures but rather to the Kangchu clan in Singapore, which means “a region ruled by the Chu [tribe] that positioned around a river.” The north of Singapore was divided and assigned to many Kangchu clan heads, each with their surname.

This region is ideal for those who prefer living in the country, are surrounded by nature, and don’t mind coming face to face with wildlife. Because the neighbourhood is free of high-rise structures, inhabitants may enjoy a tranquil existence. Springleaf Prata Place is one of the most well-known local eateries.
Springleaf, like Upper Thomson, is currently without any MRT stations. Khatib MRT Station on the North-South Line is the closest MRT station, which is around 10-15 minutes away. The future Springleaf MRT Station, on the other hand.
