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!
