Jurong
Jurong is a vast western Singapore district that pairs heavy industry with everyday urban life — its offshore Jurong Island hosts one of the world's largest integrated petrochemical hubs, while inland, Jurong East has grown into the west's leading civic, shopping and lakeside-park hub. It's less a single "sight" than a working slice of Singapore, anchored by malls, science attractions and green spaces around Jurong Lake.
