Mandai Board Walk, Singapore

Since covid had restricted us from travelling during the pandemic, Singaporean had been walking hahaha. I also started walking and with a lot of new parks and attractiions opening during these few years, make us walk more and admire nature more too.

Took Bus 138 and alight at the Singapore Zoo Stop (the sign shown on the bus screen).

Mandai Boardwalk is the latest boardwalk to open and is near to the Singapore Zoo. After alighting at the Singapore Zoo stop, just looked for the sign that stated Singapore Zoo.

After taking the escalator to street level, just followed the signs that lead to Boardwalk.

The boardwalk is about 3.3 km and stretch from River Wonders and Singapore Zoo.  We walked from Point A to Point C and then back to Point B to exit. The whole walk took more than an hour. Lots of shades makes walking easier. But there's no toilet along the boardwalk but there's toilets near  Point A and Point B.

Vines hanging down to the boardwalk giving lots of shade as we walked along the boardwalk.

Spotted Mandai Treehouse - Mandai Rainforest Resort opposite the boardwalk.

After reading this sign warning of Macaque, we saw a troop of them running along the fences, so afraid  they would snatch my handphone haha.

Bird watch at the end of the Boardwalk

More encounters with animals along the Mandai Boardwalk.

Sentosa Boardwalk - Part 2

Continuing from yesterday's post on the boardwalk. It was simply beautiful and the boardwalk is not just a piece of bridge connecting mainland Singapore and Sentosa. There are shops and eateries along the boardwalk.

At night, you can have a drink or meal and enjoy the surrounding scenery. I hope to go there one night to capture the dancing crane. You can view the crane dance from You Tube .

I was on the boardwalk, below the boardwalk are some restaurants, etc.

I did not go down the steps cause the weather was so hot and I was too eager to visit the flower show in Sentosa...lol.

The boardwalk was constructed with such beautiful wood and the architectural designs are fantastic.

I am too lazy and do not want to be under the sun to capture the sculpture of golfers...lol. So I just zoom on them with my camera. :)

You dont have to pay to be on the boardwalk unless you want to go into Sentosa, just pay the admission fees on reaching the gate at Sentosa.

Okay the next time, I will come in the night and take more photos of what's below the boardwalk. The only bad thing about Singapore is the hot weather. I guess we have too much rain recently and the sun was out only on the first day of Chinese New Year, I guess the sun is out for a revenge....lol.

Okay now back to the travellators to continue my walk to Sentosa Island.

This is the end of the boardwalk and on my way to view the beautiful flowers. Come back again to my blog to view the Sentosa Flower Show.

Please visit "That's my World" for other parts of the world.

Sentosa Board Walk - Part 1 of 2

I was trying a new route to Sentosa to view the yearly Sentosa Flower Show as part of the Chinese New Year Celebration.

We could cross over to Sentosa (an island off the mainland of Singapore) via the cable car, monorail, bus or drive over and now we can just walk over to Sentosa via the new boardwalk.

It was recently open and spending about S$70 million to construct. You can read more about the construction of the boardwalk via this website.

It costs us only $1 to enter Sentosa via the boardwalk, $3 if by monorail, $2 if by bus, and if by car it depends on the time you enter. You can view the official website for the different admission fees for car and cable car.

And if you are returning from Sentosa, you dont have to take the boardwalk again if you are tired, you can return via the monorail or bus without paying the difference in the admission fees.

I guess it is better if we use the boardwalk in the early morning or evening where the weather is much cooler. Hey, I just read about Singapore being the 2nd coolest people in the world. That's Cool. You can read the article from CNNGo.com

Inside the boardwalk, there are travelators so that we dont have to walk all the way if we are lazy or tired. Very useful especially for the elderly who dont have strong legs.

Two short videos showing the inside of the boardwalk, am using the travelator.

Come back tomorrow for more photos of the beautiful Sentosa Boardwalk.
