由来
  • 17 世纪的东陵区有很多山丘，经常有老虎出没。之后，南来新加坡的潮州人将这个区域进行开发，并称之为 “大东陵” （twa tang leng），意思是 “东部最高的山”。
  • 1854 年，新加坡首位法律事务代理人威廉·纳皮尔（William Napier）定居于东陵。他的住宅名为 “Tang Leng”，即音译自潮州话的 “东陵”。
  • 东陵一带建有许多高级住宅、酒店及外国大使馆。新加坡植物园（Singapore Botanic Gardens）也在此区内。建于 1859 年的新加坡植物园正门被称为东陵门（Tanglin Gate）。
ETYMOLOGY
  • There were many hills in the Tanglin area in the 17th century, where tigers were often seen. Later, the Teochews, who came south to Singapore, developed this area and called it “大东陵” (twa tang leng), which means “the highest hill in the east”.
  • In 1854, William Napier, the first law agent in Singapore, settled down in Tanglin. His residence was called “Tang Leng”, which is the transliteration of the Teochew dialect term “东陵”.
  • There are many upscale residences, hotels and foreign embassies in the Tanglin area. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is also in this area. Its main entrance, which was built in 1859, is called the Tanglin Gate.
