Want to know about the history behind it ...Read this on the image :)or read on wiki Sembawang Hot Springs
For those who of you who are expecting to see a pool of hot spring nestled a midst lush greenery and floral . I’m sorry to disappoint you but the reality is that you will be greeted by a concrete base with metal pipes channeling hot spring water.
Testing the waters ...it's really hot!! Also in case if you were wondering, there are plenty of chairs and pails available within the area which you can use.
Water was pipping hot, said to be about 50-80 Degrees Celsius. To immerse our feet into the pail we had to constantly mix the water with cooler water!
Enjoying the therapeutic foot bath! Some were filling up bottles of these water most probably for the “detoxifying/healing” properties that the natural spring is said to have.We had an amazing view of the moon when we started to leave,since the army camp is at the backdrop one can see the fencing all around!
Summing it up,we actually enjoyed soaking up those tired feet!! Therapeutic and refreshing for those who enjoy little things in life :) or you want to relax this way?! :) you are free to do that!
