An ever-favourite, Macritchie Tree Top Walk is finally open after a long hiatus!  The suspension bridge takes you between Bukit Peirce & Bukit Kalang, and is a popular spot for Singapore's hikers who want a sense of adventure or an Instagram-worthy photo opportunity! The Walk is a 250 metre-long suspension bridge, and while the walk up to it is slightly steep, what really gets your heart racing is when you're on the bridge itself. Standing 30 metres above sea level, this bridge may not be for the faint of heart!

Alternatively, explore Singapore's very own Green Corridor! The trail has a great mix of nature, IG-worthy spots and history. Singapore’s Green Corridor (also known as the Rail Corridor) used to be part of Malaysia’s KTM railway line connecting Singapore and Malaysia. Even though the railway has ceased operations since 2011, parts of the 24-km route have been converted into a nature trail. The trail goes from Kranji to Bukit Panjang, Bukit Timah, Holland, Tanglin and finally ending at Alexandra. A beautiful spot for hiking and photos, you can't miss out on this trail if you're an avid hiker!

From exciting new IG-Worthy Spots to adrenaline-rushing attractions, this February 2022 will be filled with so much gorgeous sights, activities and fun! Share this with your loved ones to plan your February weekends!
