Southern Ridges Walk, with pix

Ok, here is the elevated walkway a couple of kilometers from Mt. Faber, in the Forest Walk section of the interconnected trails.  It’s over a kilometer long and descends gently down a hill that’s largely covered in secondary rainforest growth.  That is, if you start at the top of Mt. Faber.  If you start at Preston or Alexandra Road and head east, you’ll go uphill all the way.  We took the easy way out.

Then at the end of the elevated walkway there’s the Alexandra Arch.  This is a leaf-shaped bridge over Alexandra Road, which is accessible on either end of the bridge.  If you head north on Alexandra, you hit a hospital, Ikea, the BMW and Porsche dealerships, and the Queenstown MRT.  Everything is very accessible and concentrated, and it’s nice that the city planners tried to inject some natural and architectural beauty into the heart of the city as well.
