Kallang is an urban planning area and a subdivision located in the Central Region of Singapore. It is probably best known for being the location of the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the old National Stadium, as well as the new Singapore Sports Hub. It is also where Singapore's first civilian airport, Kallang Airport, was located. Unlike other towns in Singapore, the commercial hub of Kallang is not located in the vicinity of the Kallang MRT Station. The Singapore Sports Hub, aside from being a sports complex, also houses several shopping malls and entertainment facilities, such as the Kallang Wave Mall, the Leisure Park Kallang and the Kallang Theatre. Throughout its history, Kallang was home to several landmarks of Singapore. The country's first civilian airport, the Kallang Airport, was located in Kallang. In addition, the old National Stadium and the former Kallang Gasworks were located at Stadium Boulevard and Kallang Road respectively. Some of Singapore's earliest settlements were also located in Kallang, mostly along the Kallang River and around the Kallang Basin. Today, Kallang is probably best known for being the location of the Singapore Indoor Stadium and the new Singapore Sports Hub. Kallang is also known to be the place where the 1964 race riots broke out. More specifically, the riots occurred near the old Kallang Gasworks. The Kallang River which meanders through the area is famous for its water sports. The source of the river is the Lower Pierce Reservoir and the river mouth is located at Kallang Basin, near to the Merdeka Bridge. At more than 10 kilometres, the Kallang River is the longest river in Singapore. The area is also drained by the Geylang River, Rochor River, Sungei Whampoa and the Pelton Canal. Kallang, together with the estate of Whampoa, form the larger entity of the HDB town of Kallang/Whampoa. The Kallang Planning Area, however, covers a larger area and includes estates such as Farrer Park and part of Kampong Glam. ==Estates== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kallang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
