MacRitchie Reservoir

I took their complimentary shuttle bus from Bishan MRT station and arrived at Mount Alvernia located at 820 Thomson Rd, Singapore 574623. It is a nice environment here and there are many art pieces and sculptures to explore. The new building has open and you can also hike to the nearby MacRitchie Reservoir Park. There are many buses coming to Mount Alvernia too and it is a non-profit private hospital with many services available. You can also visit here as a tourist at their specialist clinics in the new medical building. Taking taxi or calling for private hire is also very easy here. #2024wish #singapore #liveyourdreams

📍 MacRitchie Reservoir Park There are multiple ways that you can get here because the park has different entrances and trials. It is also a really nice place to view the sunset. I actually brought my dogs out for a walk but usually I also go for a hike and you can proceed to walk along the boardwalk to catch better views! You get to see many different insects and animals along the way and monkeys too! There is also the MacRitchie treetop walk. Be amazed by the lush greenery 💚 I like that there are also benches along the boardwalk for you to sit and enjoy the view, or you can just sit on the boardwalk itself. #singapore

Recently, I have visited Macritchie Reservoir Park and it doesn't look like your usual Reservoir. It was beautiful, peaceful and away from all the noise and hustle and bustle of a stressful city life. The air was fresh there, and there's so much to see at this Reservoir Park. The weather may be warmer these days but surprisingly it was rather cool at Macritchie, with some breeze blowing over the water area. One can find lots of greenery and lots of nice trees. In the event of rain, there are sheltered area to cover yourself or to take a break and rest. Toilets are also nearby and there is even an exercise corner to do some light workout. This is a quieter part of Singapore and you dont get to see alot of people on a weekday morning. It is the prefect place if you like some quiet or alone time to just relax your mind. I love the blue skies, the tranquil waters, the trees swaying to the breeze and how quiet it was. It's time we take a pause from the city life and be one with nature at Macritchie Reservoir Park. #singapore

You may have heard of the name Lim Bo Seng and perhaps it rings a bell or you may have read about his name and this person several times in your history books. Who is Lim Bo Seng? He is a war hero in Singapore that's definitely worth remembering. Lim Bo Seng is an agent in force 136, which was formed during the world war 2 or Japanese occupation in Singapore. He went against and fought bravely, carrying out sabotage activities during the war. Eventually, he was captured by the Japanese and died in captivity. Lim Bo Seng's actual memorial tomb can be found within Macritchie Reservoir and you can even see his actual photo on the tomb. The place is serene and peaceful. This is a place worth visiting and paying your respect to. It is rich in history and serves as a reminder as to how fortunate we are in current times. #singapore

MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir. The reservoir was completed in 1868 by impounding water from an earth embankment, and was then known as the impounding Reservoir or Thomson Reservoir. The reservoir well connected from all places within city, multiple walking trails with proper walking tracks, broadways, and some with stones and mud the natural way. If we cover the entire reservoir we end up walking 15-18 kilometers. There are multiple scenic places to capture.The Treetop bridge is where everyone walks first, though it’s not very high place, but, a must visit and check. Walking trails are good for health and refreshing too. The water colour in the reservoir has a clear turquoise green glow. It is stocked with fish and there’s a section designated for fishing.When weekends, we can see there are filled with various schools running their canoeing CCA activities. As for the residential monkey population, if you don’t bother them, they wouldn’t bother you, just be careful if you’re holding bags of food. Overall a wonderful experience. We are enjoying the hiking. #nationalpark#tripblazers #weekendvibe#familyhike

There is a beautiful scenic walk located right smack in the middle of Singapore called the macritchie reservoir. Macritchie Reservoir has been constantly upgrading and now its a beautiful place for a morning jog or a hike along the huge body of water. There are several hiking spots here it macritchie like the Prunus Trial, Lonnie Trial, the Petai Trial and many others, but what I strongly recommend is to walk via the Chemperai Trial. The Chemperai Trial takes you along the broadwalks right by the unblocked view of the reflected lake making this an ideal photoshot for many. During weekends macritchie can tend to be really crowded, so if you are thinking to do a weekend morning walk, do it early instead! #fallingforfall #macritchie #trials #scenic #singapore #park #reservoir #views

MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore’s oldest reservoir. Mention MacRitchie to any Singaporean and the talk will certainly turn to cross-country runs, nature trails and the TreeTop Walk. Anchored by Singapore’s largest reservoir—part of a water catchment system that captures rain water—the park and nature reserve at the very heart of Singapore is a popular destination for runners, water sports enthusiasts, and of course nature lovers. If you’ve ever wanted to enjoy the tranquility of walking above lush green foliage, you’ll get your chance at the Treetop Walks, a 250-metre aerial free standing suspension bridge spanning the two highest points within MacRitchie. #mustdo

MacRitchie Reservoir is one of the oldest reservoirs in Singapore. Can you believe it was completed in 1868?! The pioneers trapped and impounded water at the top of a hill with little to no technology and it shows! There is a carpark at the summit should you feel lazy and decide to drive up! The view of the reservoir is far and wide, you get to even see Bukit Timah hill! I recommend people who want to clock some steps to come here Location - Upper MacRitchie Reservoir Address - Along Lornie Highway Highlights - Nice long slope for an early workout Getting there - Walk! Ambiance/Facilities - Peaceful and One with nature Rating - 4.5/5 #mustvisit

Was a sunny afternoon and decided to move my lazy self to sweat it out and detox, so I decided to head to MacRitchie Reservoir alone! Haven’t been to here for the past 6 months, and the only thing that changed is… the TREETOP WALK IS FINALLY OPENED 😍😍😍 Started walking from the entrance of Macritchie Reservoir Park) near the Paddle Lodge (where people do dragon boat-ing) and through the forest trails. For a relatively fast walker, it will take around 1hr15mins (about 5km from the entrance) to reach the Treetop Trail! Did a video of the scenery and these pictures just does not do justice to the magnificent view from the suspension bridge. Do note that the Treetop Walk is closed on Mondays and entry will be denied after 4.45pm on days which it is open. After crossing the bridge, you’ll be going up a series of stairs and be brought back to the normal path where you’ll continue your hike and reach the Jelutong Tower! Another Instagrammable spot and to take selfies amongst the greenery 🍃☘️🌱🌿🌴🌳 When you’ve managed to reach the Island Club area, it means you’re already half completed the entire route, well done!! 👏 👏 Just continue to walk through and you’ll be able to see the otter 🦦 signboard, congrats! you’ve successfully completed the entire hike yay 🎉🥳 #singapore #macritchie #reservoir #hiking

Address - Old Upper Thomson Road Ambiance/Facilities - green and nature vibe, beach, reservoir, walkway, toilet, directory, trail guide Highlights - need a green and beach environment? Go to Lower Pierce Reservoir to refresh mind. I came here with my photographer friends to hunt for pictures. The pictures taken using my phone and my camera with macro lens. Using phone to take picture of monkeys because there's an event where the monkeys snatch people cameras. I had to be very careful with my phone as well. The pathway from entry by macritchie park is quite tough, but when it come to lower pierce, it's already steady. No more tough route. Those who loves to hike should go macritchie trail instead. Avg. Price per Person - free Rating - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are photo hunter like me and would like to snatch some pictures (like google picture quality), you need to bring your macro lens, focus on the object and snatch continuously. This place is recommended for those who love to walk & calm their mind with clear water. #beachlife #zoofun #moreinsg #photospot
