Hi Blog,
While hiking at MacRitchie a few rounds, I noticed the Tree Top Walk was under renovation for nearly more than a year.
|
I took a day off from my hectic work today and decided to visit Tree Top Walk because it had done its renovation! |
Checking back my Tree Top Walk posts (
one at 2015 and
one at 2016), I barely write enough about it so why not focus on TreeTop Walk.
|
I found this poster to announce its reopening on FB |
|
and great to see my plants in the day |
|
and feeling the heat from Mr Sun |
|
Somehow a bit too much heat |
|
Even though I was on off... I was still thinking of my workload... hope I can relax myself today... |
|
Hiking in nearly during noon, might make this hiking trip a less crowded one. |
|
Hope I don't get sunburn. |
|
Self check and good to go |
|
Yes! Lesser cars at the Venus Drive :D So hopeful! |
|
Tree Top Walk! Let's Go! |
|
Mr Sun seemed excited to see the reopen of Tree Top Walk. |
|
Time to move into the shade :D |
|
Nature's tranquillity really calmed me down. |
|
Feeling embraced by them... The amount of trust that I can have with Mother Nature. |
|
I can just take pictures and sing a song while it was a lesser crowd. |
|
Hmm checking the left side on the bridge, there were trees collapsed during rainy season... One big tree down and carried many with them... Just like someone respectable/with great influence, if he/she made a wrong decision, he/she won't imagine how many people that they had taken down with them... |
|
Hmm so it is named as TreeTop or Tree Top? I really don't understand English... |
|
Found a new theme after getting judged by the two young buffed teens for being disgusting... |
|
Love the moment of crowd-less :3 it was all by myself! |
|
It had been a while since I set my foot here. |
|
What if I want to go up after 4.30pm? Next time when I jog. |
|
The entrance of TreeTop Walk and welcomed by a nice pun here. |
|
Due to safe distancing measurements, the yellow lines help to space out the queue and it is all the way up the slope. |
|
Finally! I arrived to TreeTop! |
|
Hello trees! Long time no see! |
|
Pretended to wait patiently for my turn to enter. |
|
hmm, is there anything new before a renovation? |
|
Some facts and figures about the bridge |
|
And basic rules towards monkeys, one of the residents which live in this area. |
|
So far... I can't figure out what is new here... The netting seems rather new. |
|
If there is absolutely no visitor, I will be happier to snap more pictures. |
|
It is impossible for TreeTop to have zero visitors unless I am really that lucky. |
|
Plus now got two temp staff stationed here to instruct, control and warn visitors. |
|
Getting higher and higher |
|
I think selfie and snap whatever I can, will be my focus now. |
|
Taking pictures at TreeTop Walk is a good experience; if it is a sunrise or set picture, will be even nicer. But they don't allow that because many visitors will hold the traffic flow and encourage more weight on the suspended bridge... Dangerous! |
|
I can imagine, similar TreeTop Walk at oversea; It will be nice :3 |
|
Insert Jurassic Park theme song here, every time when you lookout. |
|
I dare not look down through the bridge, my legs will shake. I can imagine if it is a transparent bridge... |
|
Have you ever seen a bridge especially TreeTop Walk so empty? Haha XD |
|
Hmm… I wondered what was actually renovated? |
|
If I am not wrong, based on my previous visits at TreeTop Walk (below), the netting in the past seemed like green but after being renovated, it is blue. |
|
The photos I took in 2015 & 2016. I guess I am right. |
|
Anyway, I shall enjoy the moment of me-time for now. |
|
If the flights of the stairway is colourful, will be nice. |
|
I should not ask much, just embrace what it is. |
|
I could sit there and stare up the sky and nature for a long time |
|
But a bit too sunny and glazing |
|
Time to move on |
|
It seems like the yellow paint is fresh |
|
Checking my location and TreeTop Walk is just a short walk as compared to the whole MacRitchie |
|
long flight up and long flight down |
|
I thought I can snap some more photos, it seemed like I can’t because a group of visitors started to show up. |
|
I guess I will move on… |
|
I can imagine the raw pavement in the past without this boardwalk. |
|
Should be as raw as this |
|
Sometimes a wild tree might collapse whether the path is raw or with a boardwalk. |
|
TreeTop Walk was a short one, let me show you somewhere better :D |
|
Hidden and secluded |
|
It is so secluded that to witness two Giant Jungle Ants communicating |
|
Beautiful place, right? |
|
I won't share this location openly :) but you can pm me if you really want to go there. (I highly doubt anyone will) |
|
For now, just this place will be protected and kept it secluded as what it should be. Please don't fish there as there are security cameras around there. |
|
So that sunbathing and photo taking in peace possible |
|
After you had done with TreeTop, you may consider complete the course around MacRitchie because it has other scenery locations. |
The reopening of TreeTop Walk was a trill to Singaporeans especially during this pendamic when most of us struck in this small country and no where else to go, and a perfect place for a hike and catch up session with friends. Best to go during weekdays, avoid weekends morning to noon. Anytime/day after the noon will be ideal.
