Underneath the Marina Coastal Expressway

Minimalistic and dystopian at the same time, this place is like no other in Singapore. Standing under the symmetrical white pillars will give you a calm break from the bustling city. All while watching it from afar, between the columns.

Tips

When to go

Best season

All months

Best time

Morning, Mid-day, Late afternoon
Visit this covered location any month of the year.
Morning to late-afternoon (09:00 - 16:00) are good times to visit. I wouldn’t suggest coming late at night. It’ll get very dark and could be dangerous.

Field tips

The pillars can be used as leading lines and to help frame your model.
Placing a model in the distance can make them look small compared to the surroundings. If they wear bright colored clothing (red, yellow, black) it will contrast well with the white pillars.
As much as possible, avoid capturing the shipping lot (left of frame) in your photo.

Do nearby

It’s actually a very decent spot to hangout and relax with friends. There’s even a couch underneath this expressway! When I visited this location there was a man just chilling on it.
