When I was a teen in the 1970s, I used to ride horses at the Singapore Polo Club. On Saturdays, we would go on a lively hack, some of which crossed through an old Chinese cemetery. I was always baffled as to why we were permitted to gallop through.
Were the grave well spaced apart? Could be one of those "hidden" graves that come under "no one's care" due to it age. We have some graves as well at Bukit Brown near MacRitchie Reservoir. Not sure if any one is even in charge of the place.
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV It was a very old cemetery with most of the grave markers gone. We stayed off of the actual graves and traveled along the open spaces surrounding the blocks of graves.
@@DovieRuthAuthor Thanks for the sharing. Its quite rare to have any unmarked graves near the city these days. I guess eventually, the government will take over the land and turned it into something "useful" like more residential estates.
Ahhh thank you Heman. I was wondering and puzzled as to Alan's motivation to do a cemetery ride at LCK until I read Heman's comment. A 7th month theme! That explains it!👍
Thanks for the journey. I have been a fan for some time. I miss my frequent visit to Singapore and your videos help fill in a few gaps for a reluctant armchair traveller.
I apparently was the first lift filmer to do LCK Columbariums. I plan to finish off my series with a visit to Nirvana (provided security is OK)! I was even the first to do Mandai Columbarium lift and escalator.
Was my first time in the area. Didn't realised how large a plot of land it is. There were a number of areas where exhumation is taking place as well. Guess need to free up more land for future burials
Glad to hear from you Rudolf 😊 it's not a location most Singaporeans will visit. As a Chinese, all of my relatives that passed away were cremated (and their urns placed at home or at temples) therefore there was no chance for me to come here.
To answer your question. The Chinese graves have to be constructed small as land is rare in Singapore. Got graves not bad already. Most people are just cremated nowadays.
@@lecherhao86 Thank yo for your reply. I myself a Chinese person; live next door to Singapore. And we still bury the dead in the "usual" size plot (that is 1 by 2meter). Many of my family members were also cremated and released into the sea. So, there are no tombstones. It just that I see the Christian or the Hindu graves there are the usual plot size. So, I still don't understand about the limited land size reasoning. And I'm still curious, does it mean that they bury the coffin standing up?
Glad you see it in a positive light because that was my intent. Can just respectfully record it for history records. I don't even think many Singaporeans know how the place looks like. For myself, it was my first time in the area.
😂Any Sep 6-15th 12am-3am Midnite Fri/Sat Chu Cho Kang/Lim Cho Kang road driveby Grab food delivery SpookyTEC Adventures Video have...! 🤔.u going to have more than 1000 like. How many orders can u get. 12am-3am.
Hope you can view it in a positive light. Its an authentic location in Singapore that very many people have rarely seen. Thought it might be good to record it so future generations have an idea how the place looks like =)
Good informative video 👍 beautiful lush place. Never knew Lim Chu Kang look like that 😂 I am sure all those good souls are already somewhere in heaven, no need to occupy so much land on earth. Leave the land for the living. Singapore is already land constrained....
Thanks =) It was definitely one of my worst performing video but I am happy to read your comment about this place. It was my first time there too. Good learning experience

Yeah I was genuinely curious how the cemetries in LCK look like. Guess I know now =)
Good idea right???
Thanks for the journey. I have been a fan for some time. I miss my frequent visit to Singapore and your videos help fill in a few gaps for a reluctant armchair traveller.
Glad to hear from you OA =D Hope you will have a chance to visit Singapore again someday. In the meantime I hope my videos help =p
Lim and Choa chu kang are the most spiritfull places
Very peaceful and relaxing watching your video. Thanks for your efforts taken.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bro, sometimes I will take the bus 975 to go past Lim Chu Kang. Glad to see that you are covering some really unique places to visit in Singapore.
Thanks for seeing it in a positive light. I too want to film other locations in Singapore. It can be a bit dull to always record the city. =)
I apparently was the first lift filmer to do LCK Columbariums.
I plan to finish off my series with a visit to Nirvana (provided security is OK)!
I was even the first to do Mandai Columbarium lift and escalator.
Done. All the lifts filmed.
Great area
New subscriber.... really, your videos are so interesting my friend ❤️
Thanks =)
I remember doing outfield exercises in NS and hiding from enemies amongst the tombstones lol.
😳 the training went outside to the tomb areas?
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Yeah it was pretty weird, we basically went everywhere lol
Can I know how do u add map.. Is this any editing software ?Because , It's so incredible
Use this app called Relive to record your journeys
Thanks Alan for interesting video. Think first time seen all the different kinds of tombs from various religions...
Was my first time in the area. Didn't realised how large a plot of land it is. There were a number of areas where exhumation is taking place as well. Guess need to free up more land for future burials
Welcome to Lim Chu Kang Cemetery.
Very peaceful and lush. Nice for a change :)
Something new. It was my first time in the area. Always wondered how it looks like
Interesting. Lived for a few years in S'pore but never been there.
Glad to hear from you Rudolf 😊 it's not a location most Singaporeans will visit. As a Chinese, all of my relatives that passed away were cremated (and their urns placed at home or at temples) therefore there was no chance for me to come here.
Seems quite a pleasant ride during the day, I'm curious if got people cycle there at night.
Not sure if they ride inside the cemetery area but Lim chu Kang road is a popular riding stretch
really cool! 😯
cool cool! 😯
Beautiful video
Thank you
Super singapore
Wow graveyard tour
I am planning to visit this at night
My grandmother grandfather are in the columbarium level 3
Where is the location alan? How to get there
Take bus service 975 from Bukit Panjang Bus Interchange. You can ask the bus driver where to alight =)
can show night time?
Wa 7th month themed walking tour! Try going at night! Damn scary siah, Alan!
A bit too much for me to go at night. Not afraid of ghost but more worried about wild dogs =P
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV I also scared of wild dogs… I even once bumped into some wild boars!!!!
@@AmbientWalking better pray no young boars around if not the mother go Kee siao 😂
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV Got siah! Like whole family. I stay far far
@@AmbientWalking same. Saw a family walking at LCK. Also stayed away. I think if injured there and ambulance will take a long time to come 🚑😂
this is like midday-ish? respect your heat tolerance :)
Yeah it was the mid-day when I cycled here =) The heat was tolerable. Nice and windy in the area
I'm curious, why do the Chinese graves so small? Do they bury the coffin standing up?
To answer your question. The Chinese graves have to be constructed small as land is rare in Singapore. Got graves not bad already. Most people are just cremated nowadays.

Great Idea Alan to show us a cementary. It is an important piece of a countries culture - THANK YOU!

It's a bit scary, let them rest in peace 🙏
Salute your guts 👍🤎
Its nice and peaceful in there. Humbling as well to know that many people have come and go, and we should treasure our time on this earth
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV It would be great to tour some old estates where older generations are still living.
@@jegak1009 Will try to film some on occasion =D
Hope anyone watching in year 3000 will remember
🤣 Hope youtube lasts that long
Hahaha oh dear even a ghost can't be as beautiful as me hmpf🙄

??? Running out of places in Spore I guess. But this one is in bad taste.

Very strange comment.
It's a normal part of life.
