The Gap, 99 Bends - aka South Buona Vista Road


Laid through the high ridges of Kent Ridge Park, South Buona Vista Road is a picturesque boulevard flanked by forest edges of Silver Backs, Acacia, Tembusu and Tiup Tiup, as well as planted Pelong trees, Kelat Nenasi, Salam and Yellow Flame trees. The notorious hairpin curves of this dazzling green tunnel links Dover to Pasir Panjang Road, and require careful navigation.

As its name suggests in Italian, the descending slopes of South Buona Vista Road used to offer drivers stunning elevated sea views. Constructed before World War II, the ridges were the site of the famous battle of Pasir Panjang, which took place in February 1942 between the invading Japanese forces and the Malay Regiment, led by Lt. Adnan.

Kent Ridge Road still has a feel of the past. The buildings are of the old colonial style. Sometimes the street lights flicker giving an eerie feel.
