Little Guilin

The name Little Guilin is derived from an eye-catching similarity to Guilin in China. Little Guilin was once a quarry, giving an abundant supply for Singapore’s granite demands before it was deserted in the 1980s. Stagnant rainwater turned the quarry into a lake. The Housing and Development Board developed the place into a park in 1984.
