Singapore in August

We went exploring some of Singapore parks and trials in August.  We visited Henderson Waves and MacRitchie Tree Top Walk.

Henderson Waves is built as a bridge, mimics the undulating shape of a wave, curving and twisting along its entire 274-metre length.  Its form is anchored by steel arches and filled in with curved ‘ribs’ – slats of Balau wood, a dense hardwood used in heavy construction and which is found only in Southeast Asia.

MacRitchie TreeTop Walk
The bridge is 250m long and gives you abirds eye view of the forest canopy.  Singapore is a bustling city full of skyscrapers but you would never imagine it from your viewpoint on the bridge.  Not a single building is visible from the bridge, just trees, plants, birds and different wildlife in their natural habitat. You can also enjoy panoramic views of the verdant greenery of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
