Bukit Timah Nature Reserve

The highest hill in Singapore, Bukit Timah has been converted into a nature reserve that attempts to preserve wildlife in Singapore. Walk along the nature trail or climb up the hill. Along the way, gaze at the scenery or try and catch a glimpse of the many monkeys in this nature reserve. For those who prefer a leisurely walk rather than a climb, take the Kampong Trail, which leads all the way to MacRitchie Reservoir.

There is a quarry located at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Its a very nice place to relax and let go our feelings. There are also trails for people to who like moutain biking.

During the night time, its a very good place to see the stars shining at us as there are no lights to interfere the stars from shinging at us. if the weather is good there are also chances to see firefly...its a very nice scenery at night.

The district is named after Bukit Timah, Singapore's tallest hill and highest natural point. The word 'Timah' is a variation of the timak tree that was found in the area. The hill was once covered in jungle, which was densely populated by tigers. In fact, the residents of Bukit Timah were once attacked by tigers some 150 years ago. Development in Bukit Timah began in 1845, shortly after Singapore was founded, as a result of British plans to eradicate these tigers.
