Buyers and tenants are attracted to District 23, which covers Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Batok, Hillview and Bukit Panjang. Choa Chu Kang's name was derived from "kangchu", which refers to plantation owners in Teochew. Originally a kampung, the town has evolved into a modern neighbourhood with strong public transport links and two shopping malls. One of which is Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, a mall located next to the Choa Chu Kang MRT station offering various retail and dining options. Walking along Choa Chu Kang Park, visitors can also still see old fruit tree plantations. Bukit Batok is home to many natural landmarks, such as Bukit Batok Town Park, Bukit Batok Nature Park, Bukit Batok Hill and Little Guilin, which bears a resemblance of Guilin in China, offering a view of towering granite rock sitting within a lake. The main shopping mall is West Mall, which has a public library, post office and cinema within its compounds.
