Yio Chu Kang (/ˌjoʊ tʃuː ˈkʌŋ/ YOH choo KUNG), alternatively spelt as Yeo Chu Kang, is a sub-urban area in the northeast of Singapore, with proximity to the Ang Mo Kio, Lentor, Seletar and Sengkang areas.
Deriving its name from the Yio Chu Kang Village, it is still known for lush greenery and low-density housing with high-rise public housing in its southern fringes.
The name Yio Chu Kang, similar to Choa Chu Kang and Lim Chu Kang did not come from names of famous people unlike many other road names in Singapore.
[1][citation needed][better source needed] Situated at the northern portion of Ang Mo Kio, Yio Chu Kang is served by bus services originating from Yio Chu Kang Bus Interchange, Ang Mo Kio Bus Depot, Ang Mo Kio Bus Interchange and Yishun (85x services).
Yio Chu Kang MRT station also serves the area, providing residents a direct link to the relatively distant Central Area.
