What to do and see in Central Water Catchment, Singapore: The Best Things to do
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

I last walked this trail about a year ago. It is so refreshing and enjoyable to walk this trail again, I started at Chestnut North Trail end and walked towards Mandai Road. It is fascinating to encounter the many short natural tunnels created by the simpoh air plants. There is also a bamboo grove tunnel nearer to the Mandai Road end. The trail is occasionally rocky at times and this further adds to the charm of this trail. However this trail is shared by the cyclists and hikers so need to be more aware of the cyclists when walking here. I took slightly more than an hour to walk this trail. This trail is also known as the Gangsa Trail followed by the Central Catchment Park Connector.

5. MacRitchie Nature Trail
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,843 reviews
A short trip from the city center lies the serenity of MacRitchie Reservoir, part of Singapore’s water catchment system that captures rain water to help supply the island’s growing population. Trails surround the park, which has an upgraded visitor’s center featuring a café, restrooms and information station. The best views are from the TreeTop Walk, a 250-meter suspension bridge across the rainforest canopy, which can be accessed along the seven-kilometer Venus Loop. Wear hiking shoes and bring water.

This 10 km run is different from the 5 km run that we ran in our school days cross country. You landed up deep in the forest.If you are a nature lover, you should experience the MacRItchie nature trail The 10 km takes four hours to complete but if you have someone who cannot keep upwith the pace and you have to wait for her/him you may end up five hours before you can finish the trail. If you bring food. eat when you are out of the sight of monkeys. They seem sweet,adorable and certainly know how to pose in front of cameras. But once you bring out your food they will run down from the tree to the ground and snatch your food. One hiker walked on the treetop brought out some food. The monkey walked on the rope and snatched the food.The tree top walk gate closes at five pm . When you pass the gate, it warns you that it is a one way traffic This is the yellow route. You will pass by the Jelutong Tower . Climb up the spiral steps , Reach the top and you will get a good view of the forest canopy There is also the ranger station where people play golf. Beware when you are there, do not use the lane that that is meant for the rangers .Do not enter or you may get hurt by the golf balls There is this Shinto Shrine which Japanese built to commemorate soldiers who died in the Malaya and Sumatra War. Before Japanese surrendered , they destroyed Shinto Shrine so that it would not be desecrated. Follow the signs closely, or you may land up heeding to Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. You have to pass by the landmarks that I mentioned. Use a GPS Do not walk into the forest with an empty stomach or with minimum water supply There is no food along the trail, there are only two toilets . Travel light with enough water, food handphone medicine.and bring umbrella raincoat and hat .

Although Singapore is a garden city, if you are a tourist who crave for some walking experience among nature-then this is a suitable place. It is easily accessibe with many buses (167, 980, 157, 132 etc) stopping at the bus stop right in front of the park. The nearest mrt stop is Marymount station. There are 4 suitable trails for tourists: 1) Lornie Trail followed by Jering Boardwalk and Chemperai Boardwalk. This trail starts after the zig zag bridge and it takes about 1.5 hours round trip. 2) Macritchie Nature Trail followed Petai Boardwalk and Prunus Boardwalk round trip which takes about 1.5 hours. The trail starts quite near to Marymount mrt or the bus stop along Thomson road. 3) To do the treetop walk, it is easiest to start at Venus Loop, then Venus Link, Pierce Track, Treetop walk, Petaling Boardwalk, Sime track and Golf Link. One can exit at the end of Golf Link to Lornie Road or continue on using with Lornie trail or Jering Boardwalk to the entrance of Macritchie Reservoir. The Treetop walk is closed on Monday. This walk probably takes 2 hours. 4) One can walk around the reservoir in 2 hours by starting at Lornie Trail and ending at Macritchie Nature Trail or do the loop the other way round. There is a cafe at the park for refreshments near the entrance. This park is popular with the locals doing their exercise so it is safe to walk.

Small little museum and I would consider this a hidden find. Never knew there is a camera museum in Singapore. The person must have spent a bomb on the collections. Vintage and every milestone in photography, definitely an eye-opener. The tour was a good one, carried out by a photography enthusiast - brief and simple, what amazed me was the collection that is on display. Surprisingly spent longer than intended as we took a walk through history of photography in a small little space.
