City Hike

Hike up Fort Canning

One of the many ways of getting away from the desk and work is a gym workout in the city. How about doing it outdoors instead. Most people think of Fort Canning as a place for marriage or music festivals.

Duration: 7pm- 10 pm
Start UOB, walk along Boat Quay, Clarke Quay cross over via Bridge next to the Reverse Bungy, up the Fort Canning park slope to the top.

Interesting facts
Fort Canning Park was created in 1859 as an arms store, barracks and hospital and had the beginnings as a Botanical Garden.

Look out for the following on your leisurely hike:

There was an old Spring where the original Singapore settlement drew water from (it dried up ages ago!), old Christian graves, underground bunkers used during World War II
The Spice Garden, a small replica of the original 19-hectare tract Raffles established in 1822 as the first experimental and botanical garden in Singapore.

Here's a list of other attractions in the park.
