シンガポールのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Definitely worth a photo stop.

Opened on February 19, 2011, the museum's architectural form is inspired by a lotus blossom and consists of ten irregular petals. The museum offers a unique blend of art, science, technology, and culture across 21 gallery spaces. It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks and an inspiring venue for high-profile events.

At 36 meters above ground, the Henderson Waves Bridge is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. Inaugurated in 2008, the imaginative structure adds an unexpected design element to the lush green belt in southern Singapore. Gentle Wave Living true to its name, the bridge is shaped like a wave, rolling and breaking along its 275-meter stretch. Its form is anchored by steel arches and connected by curved 'ribs' – strips of balau wood, a dense hardwood used as a sturdy construction timber and found exclusively in Southeast Asia. Thanks to its shape, the bridge offers hidden nooks and shell-like alcoves where pedestrians can sit and observe their surroundings. Offering private nooks and places to rest, the bridge is popular with couples, families with children, and joggers on weekends. Even after dusk, visitors linger to admire the bridge, which is illuminated with LEDs every evening from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. for a breathtaking effect.

Along the golf course, the rainforest thins out, and you can see the MacRitchie Reservoir. Here, flowers bloom and numerous butterflies flutter around you.

From up here, if the visibility is good, you can see all the way to the Singapore skyline.

Monkeys (long-tailed macaques) can usually be seen at the ranger station. Although they are not shy, they don't approach people directly, keeping their distance. You can watch them hopping from tree to tree or grooming each other's fur. Signs warn against feeding the monkeys. The monkeys should not become accustomed to being fed, as they could become aggressive if they don't get anything. There are also plenty of fruits lying around on the forest floor, so there's no shortage of food.

Pure nature on the MacRitchie Trail. There's a total trail network of over 20 km through over 2,000 hectares of forest around the MacRitchie Reservoir. Here, the city seems far away, yet so close. The best public transport connection is the Caldecott MRT station. From there, it's about 900 m to one of the park entrances.

The Prunus Trail is one of the many hiking trails in MacRitchie Reservoir Park. Those who just want to take a short walk can enjoy views of the reservoir and the rainforest on boardwalks along the Prunus Trail and the Petai Trail.
