Henderson Waves

Warning: Do not attempt this after a long day of walking and if you’re really unfit. I almost died getting up there, climbing the stairs from Henderson Road bus stop. (I was too tired for the other options to get up there). They were not kidding when they said this is Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge; this is probably the only pedestrian bridge I know of that’s also a tourist attraction, whoda thunk.
Anyway, nice place, nice view, although a bit freaky that you can see the road below between the cracks of the planks. But apparently people picnic here a lot and have their pre-​wedding photoshoots here.
That said, best time to go is around sunset, when the lights on the bridge are on and there’s a nice view of downtown Singapore from there. The con — climbing back down to civilization once it’s dark: P
Once is enough, I wouldn’t go again.

Attractive bridge, but not really worth going out of your way for — unless your life just isn’t that exciting! ;-)
To be fair, if you are used to city life and don’t get out into the country much it might be for you, but if you are used to walking in the wilderness, then don’t waste your time…

You can either walk from Harbourfront via Mt Faber Park or Alexander Road (recommended) only if the weather is good as there is not much shelter along the way.
Best time is going is in the afternoon to catch the sunset, it offers quite a good view of the central part of Singapore. The walk across the bridge is breathe taking and even for someone who is nervous in height like myself, I find it to be enjoyable.

Holy Cow! I should have read some more reviews on how to get here. Just punching in Southern Ridges into Google Maps doesn’t do the trick. I walked around for a long time just trying to figure out how to get here.
The Family walked a long way just to see this dang attraction. Taxis were being butt heads and not wanting to drive me to the top. Also, when finished, it is not an easy task to get down the hill. Overall, a beautiful bridge and something to tick off your «most interesting pedestrian bridges in the world» list.
Is it worth the few hours it takes to get here and back? Maybe not. If your a tourist, head somewhere else, if you live here, come on and lets go hiking!

I love nature.
I loooooooove bridges.
I love heights.
I love being lazy.
I love sitting high above the ground — eating and drinking.
I came here twice because I love that it allows me to do all the things I love.
There are many ways that lead here. Some are really tough in the heat so come up the easy ways from the streets below it. And go down the easy way if it’s late at night.
I came down the long way by going thru Mount Faber and down towards the HabourFront MRT. You’ll be in a pitch dark black forest with monkeys that could attack.
I don’t know why I had to go down that trail instead of taking a cheap taxi. Please be smarter than me.
Ohhhhh…I dream of just sitting on this bridge again sometimes.

The Henderson Waves is truly a piece of art. Made from curved planks of wood, it is made to resemble waves of the ocean. The HW is also a link to both Mount Faber Hill and Telok Blangah Hill Park which is part of a long part connector that will lead you all the way to Kent Ridge if you are looking for a hike.
In the day, this place is filled with pleasure seekers who enjoy the outdoors, and when night falls, it is dotted with young couples holding hands and kissing. Tread wisely my friends.

A very cool architectural artwork.
This is a tourist attraction not to be missed. Part of the Southern Ridges park, it’s nice to walk, hike, or just stroll along this beautiful structure and take in the scenary. Easiest way to get to it is using the cable car from Marina Bay MRT station, and take it to the hill top and walk up the ramp. Follow signs.
Lots of great photo opportunities.

Beware the monkeys at the beginning of the Henderson Waves (Telok Blangah Hill side) during the day. I have seen them snatched water bottles and stuff from unsuspecting walkers who sat down for a brief rest. They can be quite menacing when traveling in a group. I guess that is part of the charm of being in a nature park.
I think it is quite an awesome architecture to create the waves with wood. It offers a cool respite from the afternoon heat and is a nice place to just lay down and chill for a while. In the evening, you get to see the sky turns into a pink coral orange shade at dusk.
This is one of my favorite places in the 10 KM Southern Ridges walk.

There are plenty of greenery in Singapore but Singaporeans really don’t explore them much. It’s an absolute waste really. Why not check out the NParks’ Southern Ridges and Henderson Waves? Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore and it spans Henderson Road to connect Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. Take a walk above the tree tops and be careful not to look down if you have a fear of heights.
I love the shell like wave structure of the bridge which doubles up as shelter to the public. I brought along a little picnic and we sat under the shade while we enjoy our nachos. We met more tourists and Caucasian families than Singaporean families, which is really a pity because it’s a great place for the family.
At night, the bridge transforms into a romantic spot with the waveform illuminated with LED lights. Nice place to bring a date after dinner.
