The green cover of the so-called Garden City is almost at 50 percent, and the lush environments are supported by a focus on renewable energy and future sustainability. Part of this interconnected system is the Southern Ridges, a 6. The idea for the Southern Ridges was conceived in Its aim was to connect a series of parks located along the southern ridge of Singapore, with one trail running between the Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill, and Kent Ridge parks and the Labrador Nature Reserve.
The Henderson Waves, completed in , is the most impressive of all the bridges along the trail. In some sections, the wave flows high over the bridge forming alcoves that provide sheltered seating areas for passing pedestrians. The bridge was designed to integrate with the green areas around it.
At the same time, it was made with multifunctionality in mind. Not only does it connect two green spaces, it also provides a recreational experience in its own right. People come to enjoy the panoramic views of the city, harbor, and Southern Islands, while bird watchers walk the bridge to spot the various birds that can be seen in the surrounding canopy.
And at night a different experience awaits. Every day between 7 p. Henderson Waves is located in the south of Singapore. You can get there by taking the bus number to the stop on Henderson Road right beneath the bridge. Alternatively, you can get the bridge from Mount Faber.
