Reflections

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days. ~Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Dawn at MacRitchie Reservoir



The forest around MacRitchie Reservoir was protected as a water catchment reserve. There are many boardwalks skirting the edge of the scenic reservoir and walking trails through the forest ranging from 3 km to 11 km distances.

The HSBC TreeTop Walk (HSBC TTW) is the highlight of several long hiking routes in MacRitchie that brings nature lover through different stages of mature secondary forest. The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region, a free-standing suspension bridge connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy. The total length of the walkway is about 250m and its height from the forest floor varies, with the highest point at 27m.
