Bishan (Chinese: 碧山, Malay: Piksan, Tamil: பீஷான்), officially Bishan Town, is an urban planning area and residential town located in the Central Region of Singapore. Covering 762 hectares of land,[1] Bishan shares borders with Ang Mo Kio to the north, Toa Payoh to the south, Serangoon to the east and the Central Water Catchment to the west.
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.
