Hiking

Fort Canning Lighthouse was built on the southern side of Fort Canning Hill to guide ships safely towards the port of Singapore.

Hiking

Fort Canning Hill, with its strategic location overlooking the Singapore Harbour, was used as a communication centre after the British established port here in 1819. The first communication facility built on the hill was a flagstaff. The flagstaff was used to display the arrival, identity, location and status of ships entering Singapore Harbour. This was followed by a time ball, a lighthouse and a telegraph office in later years.[
