The future man-made Punggol waterway, located just 5mins, opposite our house, is the key feature of the Punggol Waterfront Town. The $25 million construction will start in 2009. The waterway is 4.2km and will be the focal point of activities. The waterway will connect Sungei Serangoon and Sungei Punggol. It will snake through various areas, including the proposed Town Centre - bringing water and water activities closer to residents.
Others attractions coming its way will be Rustic Park on the Corney Island and Punggol Promenade, construction will be in 2009 too.
Fo Guang Shan Temple (shown above), is another unique landmark in Punggol. The temple structure looks so modern, unlike the typical ones you see with chinese styled roofs. It is located near Punggol town centre. To reach there, it will take less than 10mins walking distance from Punggol Lodge. There are other branches in countries like Taiwan, however, the $20 million centre, which was unveiled in 9th Jun 2008, is the first Fo Guang Shan branch to be opened in Singapore. Fo Guang Shan covers 2,000sqm over six floors and has a library and cafe at its premises. A massive, sparkling wall sits behind a towering statue of Buddha in the main hall of the Fo Guang Shan (Singapore) Buddhist centre in Punggol. The wall is made up of 6,648 pieces of translucent greenish semi-precious stones, called lapis lazuli, each bearing a character from the Diamond Sutra, a text considered to be one of the highest teachings of Buddhist wisdom. It took almost two years to complete.
