Mangrove Explorations
Mostly about visiting Langkawi: its mangroves, where to stay and where to eat.
Mangrove forests abound in S.E. Asia, though you can also find them in the more subtropical bands of North Asia (the southern parts of Taiwan, for example). If you are in Singapore and you wish to get a small taste of a tropical wetland forest, I would recommend Berlayer Creek. The authorities have built a nice path, so you’ll be able to walk along the water and see the trees up close. You could then combine this walk with a jaunt to the nearby Labrador Nature Reserve to see a patch of coastal forest, or walk along the coastline to Vivocity mall. There is another mangrove forest within Pasir Ris Park as well, though its location may not be as convenient for visitors.
