- the henderson "sinusoidal" wave bridge is also Singapore's tallest "over head bridge" lol!
- there are plenty of information maps at the attractions for those who want to know bit more on top of those who are topograhical
- there are many cool height markers engraved on the bridge's floors, though 60m is nothing really great to brag about!
- the bridge is open top, with no shelter at all
- man it does look high up from here!
- it have some small shaded resty areas, but blocks only the sun partially on this sunny day
- a view of the sinusoidal waveform which not only give the bridge it's curvy looks but pokes out at regular intervals above the w
- some of the few resting spots on the bridge, thou you can only enjoy the view at the handrails
