Prince Edward Road Station (CC32)
The Prince Edward Road Station is located at the far end of Shenton Way, close to the Keppel Vidat. It is located next to the Hock Teck See Temple, a temple said to have been built in 1844 and it is believed to be the oldest Chinese Hakka temple in Singapore. The Masjid Haji Muhammad Salleh, which houses the mausoleum of Sayyid Noh bin Sayyid Mohamad bin Sayyid Ahmad Al-Habsyi (1788 – 1866), is also a short walk away.
The MRT station mainly serves the commercial buildings and offices around the area. Buildings like M Hotel are within easy reach of the MRT station.
Coffee lovers who wish to get a brew can head over to Eon Shenton to check out a trio of coffee outlets on the ground floor. Abseil is a coffee roastery known for their knowledgeable baristas. Kahve is cosy coffee shop that also sells bakes, with a friendly owner. Double Shot Coffee Shenton is a little cafe with delicious coffee.
The Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre is about a 500 metre walk away from Prince Edward Road Station.

Journeying on the Circle Line
So there you have it – things you can do around the new Circle Line stations. However, perhaps the biggest change would be for those trying to get from stations such as HarbourFront Station (where VivoCity is located) to Bayfront Station (where Suntec City is located), now just five stops away with the completed Circle Line.
