It was not the first time to attempt exploring Mount Faber. Last time I went there, it was in the middle of weekdays (I generally don't like crowded weekend parks), in the afternoon, a girl alone, and it was vacant beyond expectation, to the point I got scared! So maybe it's a good idea to bring along a friend or visit on weekend when it's more crowded.
So this time round, I brought one friend with me who is pretty well versed with the park and we went on a long but refreshing walk :)
| Entrance to Mount Faber right after getting out from Harbourfront MRT exit A |
| Be careful of branches falling :) |
| Love the jungly and exotic feel! |
| Stairways to heaven.. but a bit too long |
| Beautiful greenery from the mid-point |
| Yup, cabs and cars do come up here! Even some tourist buses! |
| Majestic tall trees |
| Lonely looking bench. Maybe because of the cloudy weather. |
| Cute orange flowers peeping through |
| Lovely sun light through the leaves |
| Pretty orange ivy flowers all over the roof! |
| Some big and generous looking trees lining up |
| Love the gentle blow of the breeze |
| Wall paper looking really sticky plants! |
| Famous Henderson Waves to Hort park (though the two parks are not near at all!) |
| Amazing architecture with natural wooden blend |
| View that looks down to city (of course, where is not a city in Singapore!) |
| Way down down down. Much easier walk definitely |
| Ominous looking sky! with dark surrounding trees |
| I love this shalala tree! so typical Chinese paradise like. |
| Accidental exploration turned beautiful! |
| The way to Terrace Garden or Garden Terrace. |
| Looking backwards.. |
| Old looking building with an old grandpa taking a walk. |
| We thought of stopping in the middle but he gave us the courage to go up! If you are seeing this by any chance, thank you! |
| Lovely viewpoint looking down to city. Must be gorgeous at night! |
| Pretty tree with interesting patterned leaves |
| Yellow cheerful flower saying hello :) |
| The way down to somewhere.. Must be Hort Park?! |
| Unexpectedly long canopy walk |
| Walk surrounded by all sorts of trees. So pretty |
| These two monkeys suddenly started playing/fighting and thanks to one gentleman, we walked right behind him and he was so kind enough to have helped us go pass them! Thank you! |
| My friend thought the mid path could have been a beautiful waterfall. Maybe a new idea for Singaporean government? |
| So jungly! Love the messy nature vibe. |
| Somehow I prefer these kinds of plants to colorful flowers. They give me a sense of serenity and composure for some reasons |
| One tree in the process of worshiping the Sun |
| Cloudy yet best weather! and Thank you God for not giving us the rain! |
| Pretty looking school. These students must be so lucky to have been surrounded by these wonderful flora. |
| A huge giant tree that must have been standing here for more than hundreds of years. (hopefully it's not artificial.) |
| Couldn't choose which was the better one |
| Hort Park lounge! Beautiful place! Though at this time there was no water due to cleaning. |
| Playground for the kids, but still in construction |
| Hort Park was really pretty too but I was too tired to go up the park after having walked for three hours. I think I really gotta build stamina! |
Anyways, it was a really cool (literally) eco-friendly daytrip :) It's a shame that although it's so near my place I rarely come over here! Hopefully I will get to visit this park more often! Next time, I'll aim Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park!
