The most beautiful natural sites to discover Singapore City

Stretching over 10 km along the sea between the Big Splash and the East Coast Sailing Center, this park offers a wide range of activities: roller, bike, walking, water skiing. And of course we can eat seafood in the many restaurants. On Sunday, it's the meeting of Singaporeans coming with family or friends. Barbecues can be rented, some have even planted their tents. The rest of the week, East Coast Park is much less vibrant and therefore much calmer.

This is almost the central point of the island, very popular with joggers. Roads have been mapped in the surrounding forest. It's romantic and you can meet naughty monkeys there.

This is another ideal place for a stroll in lush surroundings, a walk along the sea on the background of the Second World War. In 2001, while the park was to be transformed into amusement park, bunkers were discovered. Called the Labradors secret tunnels, they were used by the British army. In front of the hotel you will find a small restaurant, the olive, very pleasant for lunch. Ask the boss to open the gates of the bunker.

The Southern Ridges is a 9 km trail that connects the west coast parks to Harbour Front. Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park are connected. Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill Park are connected by the amazing Henderson Wave, a magnificent wooden bridge (the highest in Singapore, perched at 36 m high) in the shape of a wave, on which one can enjoy a superb view of southern Singapore (the bridge is lit at night). Not to be missed, the 300 meters Canopy Walk which links Kent Ridge Park to Bukit Chandu.

At the heart of the Central Catchment nature reserve, which extends over 2,000 ha, lies MacRitchie Reservoir. Far from the polished jungle of the botanical gardens, here you're really in the rainforest, and some of the trails can be strenuous. A 12 km trail (about 5 hours' walk) circles the reservoir. It can be very hot, so take water, good shoes and mosquito repellent. If walking isn't your thing, you can enjoy the reservoir by renting a kayak from the Paddle Lodge.
