The major highlights of Eastern Singapore include the Geylang district, Katong and Changi, all of them feature distinct characteristics, which are quite alluring to backpackers. If the Geylang district presents a unique combination of notorious and spiritual activities, the picturesque Katong boasts high quality of shopping and cuisines.
