Set against luscious vegetation, Thomson Nature Park was once the home to a bustling Hainanese village in the 1930s through 1980s with bountiful fruit trees consisting of rambutans, durians, jackfruit and even the occasional avocados providing food sources to the villagers. By the 1960s, the village grew to a harmonious community of 500 multiracial residents from all walks of life. To date, remnants of old wells, toilets and now-defunct street signs remind us of a slice of the past. However, that is not all that remains! A living culture beholds you as we take a peer into the diverse and fascinating uses of plants that can be found right here at Thomson Nature Park!
