Kampong Lorong Baungkok

Welcome to Kampong Lorong Baungkok, the last surviving Villange in Singapore .

Wiki says "Kampong Buangkok (simplified Chinese: 罗弄万国村; pinyin: Luónòng Wàn Guó Cūn) was a village location found in mainland Singapore. Built in 1956, it was the last surviving kampong (village) located at Kampong Lorong Buangkok in Hougang, in the north eastern region of Singapore in the 21st century. A wide canal ran alongside the kampong, which links to Sungei Punggol that drains into the eastern Straits of Johor."
