A trip to Mount Faber (Part 4-Park)

Still on top of Mount Faber. And at this little park, we could learn about the directions from where we were standing, where our neighbouring countries were.

There are more but I was so tired so I only managed to snap these few countries directions.

Skywatch - Satellite tower at Mount Faber

Still on top of Mount Faber, I saw two very tall Satellite Tower. I guess they would looked good on Sky Watch Friday.

Plenty of greenery on top of Mount Faber.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch. For other sky watchers, you can go to Tom's website.

A trip to Mount Faber-Part 4 (Park)

Still at the top of Mount Faber. Just about 10 minutes walk from the Mount Faber Cable Car Station, there was a small park that was so lovely. It was much cooler over here with huge trees which gives us shade from the hot sun.

This is the Singapore Icon - the Merlion on top of Mount Faber. There are about four Merlions as far as I know in Singapore. The others are the famous Merlion and its baby at Fullerton and the huge Merlion on Sentosa.

Plenty of flowers and greenery as we walked to this little park.

Look out for more photos at this park which would be of interest to you.

A trip up to Mount Faber- Part 3 (Jewel Box)

The Jewel Box right at the top of Mount Faber where the cable car station is. There are a few restaurants and bars located here.

This is the roof top of Jewel Box but best time to visit was in the morning or night cause it could be very hot on the roof top in the afternoon. But you could visit some of the air conditioned restaurants located on the lower floor where you could dine or have a drink and a good view of Singapore.

Some cable cars used as deco. for the roof top pub.

You could follow what this family did, hide in the shelter from the hot sun and bring their own drinks and food. The rooftop pub is not open during the daytime except for the restaurants which are open for lunch and dinner.

Guess why this cable car is different from the other top two cable cars in the above photo. Clue: The difference has nothing to do with the fine display of dining sets. Answer: This cable is different from the above two because it was made of Lego Bricks.

More information on dining and wine at Jewel Box, Mount Faber in here.

A trip up Mount Faber - Part 2 (City View)

Looking from the other side of Mount Faber, I could now see the city view instead of the sea view.

These are the housing apartments of the heartlanders of Telok Blangah, they are at least 30 years of age but the apartments in here are worth more than in some other estates because of their location. The apartments over here have a backing of Mount Faber and a sea view (good fengshui). In Feng Shui, a backing of a mountain/hill meant protection and water meant wealth.

Looking further away, we could see the skyline of the city. It looked cramp but in between these buildings there are plenty of greenery otherwise we wont be called a garden city. :)

More photos of Mount Faber coming up in later post.
