'Singapore's version of Sun Moon Lake': Scenic waterfront bus stop got netizens guessing its location
A bus stop at the Upper Seletar Reservoir in Singapore has gained viral popularity on TikTok for its scenic waterfront views. While some residents appreciate the beauty of the location, others are concerned that increased social media attention will lead to overcrowding.
Why it matters
This reflects the growing trend of 'social media tourism,' where digital platforms significantly influence the popularity and preservation of local public spaces.
Most bus stops serve as temporary waiting points, but this particular one might just be a destination on its own.
In a video posted to TikTok on Sept 9, user Sofina shared a clip of a bus stop located in front of a body of water with scenic, largely unobstructed views.
Two water-facing benches could be seen set up directly behind it.
The sight quickly drew the attention of netizens, with several highly curious about its location.

"Somewhere at Seletar I think," one commented, while a few asked: "Where is it?"
Others were more focused on the view, with one netizen dubbing it "Singapore's version of Sun Moon Lake" — referring to the popular attraction in Taiwan.
A separate comment read: "The bus stop I always pass by on the way to work at Mandai. It's so gorgeous."
