Jaime C. Velasquez Park (Salcedo Park)
2 savesRecommendation by Lemi
Double the cardio and chase your kids around Jaime C. Velasquez Park! Under the diligent eye of Bel-Air Village’s police officers, this charming park is a safe spot to run with the entire family. Jaime C. Velasquez Park is also called Salcedo Park—after the neighborhood it’s in—by residents. Saturdays open it up for a farmer’s market, so opt for a late afternoon to pre-dinner run after the market closes. The rest of the days, it’s business as usual: children wrangle through the colorful playground and visitors pass the time on the benches.

Surrounded by high-rise buildings in Diamond Hills, the Nan Lian Garden truly speaks of “the breathing space”. What sets Nan Lian Garden apart from other parks is its perfect arrangement of greeneries, ponds, and benches that allow for greater appreciation of the space. It presents a magnificent fusion of Tang-dynasty and modern architecture that is most appreciated through its one-way circular route that lets you enjoy a full experience of the place in one go. The Nan Lian Garden is a place that is brilliant for travelers who want a mesmerizing and laidback experience of Hong Kong.

Southern Ridges
Singapore is a very beautiful city, but sometimes the locals need a break from the hustle and bustle of city-life. Where do they go? Singapore has a lot of pretty and well-maintained parks but the Southern Ridges is worth a special mention! Escape from the city with this 10km of green space, a pocket in-between skyscrapers and high-density housing. Get lost in the elevated bridges and look beneath the greeneries as you stroll.
