When we think of Singapore, we see a bustling modern city, densely packed with office towers, shopping malls, and condominiums. Exercising usually mean a morning jog around the neighborhood, or a pilates class after work. Weekends are synonymous with shopping, movies, and eating. But there’s only so many plates of Char Kway Teow you can devour before making the sweeping declaration: diet starts tomorrow!
Rarely do people consider hiking as a leisure activity in Singapore, especially when our hot and humid weather is pure madness. Besides, our knowledge of nature walks is really limited. Ask around and a certain treetop walk will probably come up 10 times.
To shed light on our very own hiking trails on the island, we got down and dirty for you to give your exercise routine an ‘upgrade’.
