- Getting There: Bus no 162
Encompassing the MacRitchie Reservoir and Lower Peirce Reservoir and Upper Peirce Reservoir parks, this 2000-hectare area is Singapore's largest nature reserve. The area is criss-crossed by a series of trails, ranging from short boardwalks around the reservoirs to long treks through the forest. The most popular entry point to this precious wilderness is the MacRitchie Reservoir, a delightful, partly manicured park wrapped around the water's edge, where you can rent a kayak, and get a bite to eat at the small hilltop food centre overlooking the water and a bizarre zigzagging pontoon bridge. It's also the starting point for some fairly arduous forest walks. To get here, take bus no 162 from Orchard Boulevard or Scotts Road and get off at the reservoir entrance at the top of Thompson Road.
