Bishan, Singapore
Bishan (officially referred to as Bishan New Town, by the Housing and Development Board) is a neighbourhood in the city-state of Singapore situated in the Central Region. Covering 743 hectares of land, Bishan is bounded by Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1, the Central Expressway, Braddell Road, and along the west of private housing off Upper Thomson Road to Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1. Its main transport arteries into the city are the Bishan MRT station, and the Central Expressway.
Built above what used to be a cemetery, there were initial fears that the Bishan HDB flats would face poor occupancy as cemeteries bode bad fengshui. This proved to be false, however, and Bishan became one of the most popular towns when newly built. Today, HDB flats in Bishan are priced above-average because of the town's accessibility.
==Etymology==
Bishan derived its name from the Cantonese term for large burial ground, ''Peck San Theng'' (), which literally translates as "pavilions on the green".〔Victor R Savage, Brenda S A Yeoh (2003), ''Toponymics – A Study of Singapore Street Names'', Eastern Universities Press, ISBN 981-210-205-1〕 This term reflects the neighbourhood's origins as a burial ground that was established in 1870 by Chinese immigrants from Canton.〔 This burial ground has since been redeveloped and the original graves were relocated to the nearby Peck San Theng Temple.〔
