There are 2 drains that run paraell to the park connector, ie. the north drain and the south drain. The mouth of the north drain is near Changi Aviation Park and the mouth of the south drain is near Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. The 2 drains do not connect to each other. There is forested area between the 2 drains. I had to get out to the park connector after reaching the end of either one of the drain.
The overgrown grass and fallen trees is at the north drain. South drain also has fallen trees but they fell into the drain not onto the path. So it is easier to walk alongside the south drain.
Agreed with you that the nice scenery there is at the mouth of the south drain, I have been to the end of the rock bund where there is a yellow beacon. Can see Batam and also our CBD in the distance on a clear day.
Yeah......the scenery there is quite fantastic.
But I don't like that area....cos it reminds me of work which is at the end of the Changi spit.
But now when I go there, it is a mixed feeling......nostalgia mixed with gladness that I am leaving that area soon.
I have seen enough of the sea and it's time to move on.

PCN stands for Park Connector Network.The route which you tried from East Coast to Changi Village is known as the Coastal Park Connector. I have not yet cycled on this route but I have walked the full 7.9km. Took bus service 35 to Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal then walk there. Took me around 2 hours plus to complete.
I have also walked on the small path alongside the 2 big monsoon drains which run paraell to the Coastal Park Connector. They are known as Changi Collector Drain (North) and (South). North drain is near Aviation Park, South drain is near East Coast Park and Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. Not advisable to cycle as the path is narrow and when come to the end of the drain, has to walk through low grass area to get out to the main road, and also some part of the path completely covered with grass, the north drain there has fallen trees almost blocking the path. However the scenary is nice, all around are trees and vegetation. Very deserted except for one or two fishing there.
LOL
I thought I was the only mad bastard who tried biking along the drain to see how far it would go.
I gave up 3/4 way because I was fed-up with bashing through overgrown grass and fallen trees.
But....the scenery was indeed good. Despite the curses heaped onto me by my friends...
The best scenery offered is at the mouth of the canal at Tanah Merah Ferry Ter. Stray dogs inhabit that area although they are generally ok with people. The breeze there, with the sea-gulls around you is well-worth the distance extended into the sea.
