由来
  • 小桂林是一个由废弃的花岗石矿场改建而成的市镇公园，占地42公顷。
  • 1980年代，新加坡政府决定将当地开采石矿后所留下的矿湖保留下来，改建为一处让居民休闲游乐的地方。
  • 由于小桂林的风景和中国广西的桂林略有相似之处，因此被誉为“小桂林”。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Little Guilin is a 42-hectare town park converted from a disused granite quarry.
  • In the 1980s, the Government decided to preserve the mining lake left behind by the local quarry and turn it into a leisure spot for residents.
  • The park is known as “Little Guilin” because it bears a slight resemblance to the landscape of Guilin in Guangxi province, China.
