Southern Ridges

Singapore has opened the new Southern Ridges which links Harbour Front all the way to West Coast Park via Mount Faber, Telok Blangah, Kent Ridge Park. The two newly opened link bridges are called Alexandra Arch and Henderson Wave.

Here is the link to the National Park webpage.

I started from my home along the Alexandra Road, go to the Alexandra Arch entrance to Mount Faber. Originally, I want to go all the way down to Harbour Front. However, the last park is a trail with no street light at all. It was 10:30pm and I did not have a torch light with me. Therefore, I decided to U-turn early.




The portion linking Alexandra Road to the Telok Blangah Park is a steel bridge which is quite narrow. And it is all the way up slope with lots of twisty turns. I feel that it is not good for running. Since I did it at night, I am not able to enjoy the tree-top scenery. Maybe I should do it again sometime in the day time.
