Located in the Southern Ridges region of Singapore, the bridge connects two important parks: Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill. It is part of a 10 km trail that allows you to experience nature, passing through lush green areas and even natural habitats of birds and other animals.

It's amazing how a bridge transforms the simple act of crossing one park into another into a complete experience. When you walk across it, you feel like you're part of the landscape, with the contrast between urban modernity and the nature around you. Without a doubt, it's one of the best places for those seeking harmony between city and tranquility.
