Upper Seletar Reservoir

Very calm in early morning

Upper Seletar Reservoir is located in Mandai, a lonely district found off the beaten track. This area boasts a lush collection of flora and I've spent some quiet afternoons here just enjoying the serenity. Occasionally, there are also tv crew filming, outdoor photography being carried out for families and wedding couples and some are here to jog or cycle.It was built to cater for the surge in water demand after World War I. Known as Seletar Reservoir then, it was Singapore’s third impounding reservoir, after MacRitchie and Peirce Reservoirs. The reservoir was renamed Upper Seletar Reservoir after the construction of the Lower Seletar Reservoir in 1986.

Here are basically local Singaporeans and people who prefer photography. The scenery is particularly beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers, there are many birds inhabited here, and it is also a well-known place to enjoy the sunset in Singapore.

This is one of the best reservoir parks in Singapore. It was cloudy when we came, but it would be a good place to catch the sunset. You can even climb to the top of the rocket tower and watch a panoramic view of the area. If you bring food with you, be careful of monkeys approaching the parking lot and do not feed them.

The reservoir is very beautiful, without the depression of a big city.
