About Bukit Brown:
The Bukit Brown area is about 233 hectares in extent, bordered by Lornie Road, Thomson Road and the Pan-Island Expressway. It lies just to the south of the Central Catchment Forest, being separated from it by Lornie Road and includes Singapore’s only Chinese Municipal Cemetery. With more than 100,000 graves, Bukit Brown is also one of the largest Chinese cemeteries outside of China.
Don’t forget to bask in the peaceful surrounds, and also chat with your guides and make friends with other participants. We are amateurs and volunteers, but we are passionate and serious about what we do at Bukit Brown, and we encourage sharing of knowledge.

Hi Derence,
Thanks for your interest in our guided walks. We are all volunteers and it is challenging to manage individual notifications. Please check into the blog under events regularly mid week for updates on public guided walks. Best place to ensure early notice is to join the FB group https://www.facebook.com/groups/bukitbrown/
The guided walks are generated as event pages from there and if you subscribe to notifications, you will get updates as and when guided walks are organised, which we try to do at least once every weekend.
Cheers
