Southern Ridges and Singapore Night Festival

Being bored in Singapore last Sunday, me and my friend Dui decided to explore the Southern Ridges, one of Singapore's latest attraction with 9km of walking.


We started our journey at 2pm at Harbour Front MRT, coming out of Exit D and towards Marang Trail up Faber Hill. The steps were a killer. Walking pass Jewel Box we reach Henderson Waves the first interesting attraction of our walk. The structure was nice, but not so in the heat of the 2:30pm sun. Continuing towards Telok Blangah Hill Park, and thru the Hilltop Walk which is rather boring, we reach Alexandra Arch, which is also rather boring.


We reach HortPark next and that was just slightly interesting a notch. We got a bit lost trying to find our way towards Kent Ridge Park after that, and totally miss the whole Canopy Walk and well, truth is, the Canopy Walk look rather boring as well. We ended our hiking at Kent Ridge Park and took bus 200 to Holland Village for dinner.

After dinner, we attempted to walk to Orchard from Holland Village, but gave up half way after Farrer Park, and took a bus to Delfi at Orchard. From there we walk all the way to City Hall to take the train home. The Singapore Night Festival was in full swing that night, and we spend more then an hour taking photos of the Art Museum and the National Museum. Really fun! Will upload more photos of those soon.



Verdict : Souther Ridges is utterly boring. Singapore Festival of Light is only interesting for 30 minutes. And I am going to JB this coming weekend :)
