Main Highlights
🌲𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗲: Its scientific name is mesua ferruginea but it is more commonly known as the Sembawang tree. You can find it at the entrance of Sembawang Park Carpark 1, and it is what gives the heartlands its name!

Sembawang Tree which gives the heartlands its name!
📍 Near entrance of Sembawang Park Carpark 1
Gibraltar Crescent Bunker: It’s almost like walking into Narnia as a huge banyan tree has wrapped itself around this old bunker.
📍 To get to Gibraltar Crescent Bunker: Look out for an opening in the greens, opposite bungalow @158 Gibraltar Crescent
Head in and you will see Gibraltar Crescent Bunker 5-10 metres from the road.
Malta Crescent Bunker: A grassy crest which is actually a bunker that is now inaccessible to all.
📍Right next to Sembawang Park Carpark 2
There is even a helipad opposite Malta Crescent bunker!
Also look out for an old storehouse along Malta Crescent (before Cyprus Road) that is wrapped by roots and vines.
Durban Road Bunker: Chimneys protruding from this bunker, it looks like a house that has been buried underneath the grass patch.
📍 291 Durban Road
Bermuda Road Bunkers: These look more like pillboxes than bunkers as they are situated on a hilltop overlooking the main roads.
📍 250B Bermuda Road
With small openings at the sides, they would have been perfect for soldiers shooting out from them.
Also look out for the beautiful black and white colonial houses in Sembawang!
