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

next up will be the Telok Blangah hill forest walk

will bring us to one of the highlights of route!

nothing new, but hey it's still a good view, yea?

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

And here we are are Mt faber in mappy goodness!

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

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!

the faber walk we will see us through the "Jewel Box" aka the cable care station

there are many cool height markers engraved on the bridge's floors, though 60m is nothing really great to brag about!

a baby forest with some fitness corners

did I mention it's very difficult to get lost here?

remnants of the the old Alkaff Mansion

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

located at the peak of the faber hill...

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

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!

some photogenic shots above

what we are partly here for lies after some stretches of Telok Blangah hill roads

which runs on ground dirt tracks along with the forest walk

I spy a dome with my little eye

and under!

wonder where this leads us too..

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

more of those information, ummm sign thingies

hello I am a dirt track & I miss people trampling on me!

did I mention HIGH? look down!

some of the various scenic and high spots of the walk

a view of the hill walk platforms from a distance

here are some of the inter-twining areas part of the route

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?)

some of the trekkers on a mission...

the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,

some more stainless steel structure porn
