Head in
the Clouds

Singapore may be famous for its skyscrapers,
but there are plenty of other ways to get up high
both in and out of the city. And some surprising
things to do up there, too.

START

Central Catchment
Nature Reserve

WOBBLY WALKWAY

Central Catchment Nature Reserve

Wooden steps lead to a narrow, wobbly bridge suspended up to 25m (82ft) above
the forest floor. This is the start of a 250m (273 yard) trail that connects the two
highest hills in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. Visitors need to have a head
for heights, because once theyre up on the bridge, theres no turning back its
so narrow, you can only walk single file in one direction! Visitors can see all the layers
of the tropical rainforest and often spot macaque monkeys swinging through the trees.

Sentosa Cable Car

HIGH FLYER

Sentosa Cable Car

An easier way to swing above the
trees is on the cable car that sets
off from Mount Faber (Singapores
second-highest hill) and zips over
the water to Sentosa Island. Couples
can eat a romantic dinner for two
up here, in a special car decorated
with flowers sweet! Its a popular
spot for popping the question.

Siloso Beach

WALKING IN THE AIR

Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa

Bungee arrived in Singapore in August 2017, and
brave people can jump from a very high tower
with a rope attached to their ankles. Theres
also a swing 40m (131ft) up from the ground,
which carries up to three people, whizzing them
down at over 100kph (62mph)! Or you can opt
for a walk along the Skybridge, 47m (154ft)
in the air. Visitors can even make their way
from the top of the tower back to the ground
by walking down the outside of the building!

BUNGEE JUMPS GENERALLY HAPPEN
47M (154FT) UP, BUT THERES ALSO
A SPECIAL OPTION TO JUMP FROM
THE ROOF OF THE TOWER A FULL
50M (164FT) OFF THE GROUND!

Pinnacle@Duxton

THE NEXT LEVEL

Pinnacle@Duxton

At 50 storeys high, this is the tallest
public housing estate in the world
and the only one to have two sky gardens
linking all its blocks. The gardens are on
the 26th floor (for residents only) and
50th floor (for the public). They connect
all seven of the buildings and offer some
of the best views in Singapore. While
the gardens replace greenery that was
lost on the ground and provide escape
routes in the event of a fire, theyre
also great for recreation, with
childrens play areas, a running track,
an outdoor gym for the elderly and
chairs for sunbathing.

THE 1,848 APARTMENTS
INSIDE THE BLOCKS
HAVE WALLS MADE FROM
LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE
THAT CAN BE MOVED, SO
TENANTS CAN REARRANGE
THEIR FLOORPLAN, NOT
JUST THE FURNITURE!

Central Business
DISTRICT

HIGH SOCIETY

central business District

In 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles
bought the island of Singapore from
the sultans who ruled it, it was not
much more than a village surrounded
by jungle and swamps. His plan: to
turn the place into a trading post.
People came from Europe and all
over Asia to settle here and, as the
population rose, so did the buildings.

Double Rubble

Raffles wanted to build Singapores business centre on
a bit of old swampland by the Singapore River. Hundreds of
workers flattened a nearby hill and used its rocks and soil
to fill in the swamp, raising the level of the surrounding
streets. Thats how Raffles Place began, and businesses
soon moved here, along with Singapores very first
banks and department stores.
