Marang Trail to Mt Faber from Harbour Front Area
a short trek through few of the winding roads along Mt Faber
Alternative routes up Singapore's only mountain!
this route very much involves the old way up the hill, unless you take the Marang trail route
will bring us to one of the highlights of route!
next up will be the Telok Blangah hill forest walk
Telok Blangah hill have many family friendly facilities such as carparks and event areas
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
nothing new, but hey it's still a good view, yea?
some bow looking thingies with words on them...
this is the highest we can get - 77m!
some of the few resting spots on the bridge, thou you can only enjoy the view at the handrails
And here we are are Mt faber in mappy goodness!
getting yourself orientated is not much a problem with many signs round the area
the henderson "sinusoidal" wave bridge is also Singapore's tallest "over head bridge" lol!
remnants of the the old Alkaff Mansion
the faber walk we will see us through the "Jewel Box" aka the cable care station
did I mention it's very difficult to get lost here?
a baby forest with some fitness corners
there are many cool height markers engraved on the bridge's floors, though 60m is nothing really great to brag about!
not to mention many playgrounds for children as well!
ah so the arch is that way!
there are plenty of information maps at the attractions for those who want to know bit more on top of those who are topograhical
it have some small shaded resty areas, but blocks only the sun partially on this sunny day
the bridge is open top, with no shelter at all
located at the peak of the faber hill...
man it does look high up from here!
the terrace garden is nice, but not a highlight of today's walk
holly molly! a whole Donkey Kong level!
there's quite alot of people here!
what we are partly here for lies after some stretches of Telok Blangah hill roads
I spy a dome with my little eye
some photogenic shots above
which runs on ground dirt tracks along with the forest walk

if saving princesses ain't your cup of tea, there always the earth trail

some of the various scenic and high spots of the walk
hello I am a dirt track & I miss people trampling on me!
here are some of the inter-twining areas part of the route
a view of the hill walk platforms from a distance
lined along the forest walk are details and elaborations of vegetation which survived the construction process...
don't ask me, I like how this picture was framed
a quick escape route in case any nature calls
a view you never thought you can get in central Singapore... (now is that a starbucks joint behind that tree?)
the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,
some of the trekkers on a mission...
