Thomson Nature Park

Thomson Nature Park is unique for its heritage, a former Hainan village and key conservation for critically endangered Raffles’ Banded Langur.

 Not a very big park, just 50-hectare in size. There are a lot of surprises awaiting for those who pay attention enough of the surrounding.

 Without boardwalk, not the best method but is good enough to prevent the root flatten by park goers.

 The sign of formal village is everywhere, such as this mosaic floor.

 The pillar and partial wall was left behind to tell the story of the settlers who arrived from China.

 The nature had reclaimed the area once lost to the civilisation.

This remind me of my childhood. I spend quite some time everyday watching my guppy fish in the salted egg urn (on the top left corner). Almost every family will have at least one to keep rain water.

Other than the "lost village", there are lots of creatures waiting to be found just like any nature reserve or forest. Due to low lighting, can't have a clear shot of this forest cockroach.

 A very beautiful living gem stone... a Red Chilocorus ladybug beetle.

 A close-up look of a Yellow Ladybug beetle.

 Lots of jumping spiders if you like macro shots.

The best chance to have a glimpse of critically endangered Raffles’ Banded Langur will be here if you are lucky. I should try my luck here again soon. :)
