The Southern Ridges, Singapore

Go on a hike in the great outdoors and enjoy the serenity on offer at the Southern Ridges. Comprising 10 km of green, open spaces that connect Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve, these ridges are an alternative for walking enthusiasts, history buffs, shutterbugs, nature lovers, bird watchers and families looking for a different kind of family outing.
新加坡南部有一片连绵的小山,这里是新加坡最高点之一,现已建成连片的大面积公园。游客在此不仅可以呼吸新鲜空气,锻炼身体,还可以眺望城市高楼群(包括夜景)和圣淘沙岛

Steeped in history and one of the best spots in Singapore to enjoy panoramic views of the city, harbour and the Southern Islands, the Southern Ridges is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Henderson Waves, a structure not to be missed, connects Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. Standing 36 metres above Henderson Road, it is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore, and is frequently visited for its artistic, distinctive wave-like structure consisting of a series of undulating curved ‘ribs’. Other highlights of the Southern Ridges include the Forest Walk and Canopy Walk – bridges cutting through the Adinandra Belukar, a distinct type of secondary forest. Here, you can see a rich variety of flora and fauna and observe birds in their natural habitat. Walk on the Ridges and capture the beauty of wild flowers and birds. Explore Berlayer Creek at the newly launched Labrador Nature and Coastal Walk, which is home to myriad flora and fauna, another great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.




我首先来到Kent Ridge Park,从这里沿山脊步道向东可以一直走到VivoCity圣淘沙岛。沿途有足够多的厕所。饮水机虽然不多,但每个公园都有一个,多在厕所外,大家千万不要放过任何一个。另有个别自动售水机和餐饮点。

HortPark最东端有座花园式停车场,我在这里偶遇一只变色龙,以为凭借和树干相仿的颜色,只要趴在树干上一动也不动我就不会发现它,所以呆在那里老老实实让我拍照。当然如果太靠近,它还是会跳开的,不会傻傻等你抓。

走过了Henderson Waves就来到了Mount Faber Park。这里是观赏新加坡夜景的好地点,山下就是VivoCity、地铁站和圣淘沙步道。在Faber Point有望远镜,游客可以免费使用。这里小松鼠很多,大家可以留意身边大树。

圣淘沙缆车
游客可以从Faber Peak搭缆车前往圣淘沙。

Marang Trail
我沿着Marang Trail下山,途经一小片穆斯林墓地就来到了HarbourFront地铁站,由此连接到马路对面的VivoCity and Harbourfront Centre购物中心,VivoCity楼上有前往圣淘沙的轻轨,VivoCity楼下也有步道可以步行前往圣淘沙。
