Southern Ridges, Singapore

The Southern Ridges are a chain of green hills in the south of Singapore, stretching from Mount Faber through Telok Blangah Hill and Kent Ridge Park to Clementi Woods in the west.
Elevated boardwalks, bridges and trails connect the individual parks to create a green corridor full of fascinating animal and plant life and historical anecdotes. Henderson Waves, Singapore's highest pedestrian bridge, and numerous viewpoints along the trail offer scenic vistas of downtown Singapore, the harbour and the islands in the south of the city-state. The Southern Ridges is ideal for walking enthusiasts, history lovers, photography buffs, nature lovers, bird watchers, families and friends.
