SUNGEI BULOH WETLANDS RESERVE PARK | SINGAPORE
These days, I prefer activities where you can avoid crowd as much as possible
and stay healthy at the same time. So for me cycling it the best choice!
I am sharing our Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve Park Singapore video.
Hope you like it.
More Singapore fun videos to come.
Stay safe everyone!
The 130-hectare Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve is the largest mangrove forest in Singapore and became Singapore's first ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003, and is recognised as a site of international importance for migratory birds.
And situated beside it will be the 31-hectare extension, boasting rich mangrove and coastal forests which are home to diverse species of fauna such as tree-climbing crabs and mudskippers.
1. Visitor Centre
The new Visitor Centre houses a mangrove gallery, which features interactive educational tools such as multimedia games, a live camera feed that transmits and screens live scenes from various areas of the Reserve, and static displays featuring information on the mangrove habitat.
This will also be a good place for everyone in the family to empty their bladders or to hydrate themselves courtesy of the water coolers or vending machines before embarking on the nature trails.
3. Coastal boardwalk
The coastal boardwalk offers a scenic and breathtaking view of the Kranji waterfront with a lookout point where raptors such as the Ospreys and White-Bellied Sea Eagles can be spotted hunting for prey.
5. Pods
Five pods have been constructed at various locations around the wetland reserve extension. These raised viewing platforms allow visitors unobstructed views of the reserve and the sea.

Where to cyle in Singapore
Just some description I got from Google:
Rowers bay park
Rower's Bay Park at Lower Seletar Reservoir is named for the reservoir's popularity with kayaking and dragon-boating enthusiasts. It also forms the first phase of the planned 150km Round Island Route (RIR), which will connect parks around Singapore – yes, you will eventually be able to cycle around the entire island.
The wetlands surrounding the boardwalk have also been filled with plant species that will attract and provide a habitat for native wildlife in the area – look out for the grey heron and copper-cheeked frog.
A nearby attraction is also Punggol Barat Island, a peaceful and beautiful spot popular with cyclists – and wedding couples on a photo shoot.
Rowe's Bay is situated at the far end of Lower Seletar Reservoir next to Yishun Dam. One of the amenities found at Rower’s Bay is a sheltered pavilion that offers panoramic views of the waters of Lower Seletar Reservoir. There are also other seating areas that look out to the reservoir.
Rower’s Bay also features a boardwalk that brings visitors closer to the reservoir’s waters. A wetland area has also been developed beside the boardwalk to enhance the area’s biodiversity such as the grey heron and copper-cheeked frog.
Toilets and vending machines can also be found at Rower’s Bay.
The fishing area is very tranquil and there are trees around to provide shade.
I was stunned by the blue of the Lower Seletar Reservoir, the cool breeze and gentle morning light. It felt like I stumbled into a hidden lake. I felt I could idle on a bench and bathe in that charming atmosphere the whole morning.
The park is one of the best secret spots to catch the sunrise or sunset in Singapore.
We explored the Lower Seletar Reservoir park and then took bus 117 to the Rower's Bay. For lunch, we took bus 117 again to 5 by Sans Facon at the Oval at Seletar Aerospace Park.
Located by the Yishun Dam connecting Yishun and Seletar, Rower’s Bay Park is a pit stop for cyclists on the future 150km Round Island Route (RIR). While that’s not completed yet, you’ll still be able to admire the scenic view of the Lower Seletar Reservoir here as well as a couple of wetland areas teeming with wildlife. Currently, you can make your way here by cycling on the marked pavements around Seletar Aerospace Park. Under Phase 1 of the RIR, Rower’s Bay Park is connected to a 60km network of cycling paths which includes Punggol Waterway, Pasir Ris Park, Changi Beach, East Coast and Gardens by the Bay! So, if you’re game for it, hop on your bike and make your way to Rower’s Bay Park.
For a leisurely morning or evening ride, Rower’s Bay Park is the ideal spot for its scenic and children friendly tracks. The 60km track is the first phase of Round Island Route (RIR), a continuous 150km park connector that circles the island, set to be completed by 2035. If you’re not cycling, bask in the cool breeze at the lookout pavilion and try to spot native wildlife such as the Grey Heron and Copper-cheeked Frog. Fuel up and drop by the quaint cafes and restaurant nearby at The Oval, like Wildseed Café and The Summerhouse.
Level: Easy
Address: Seletar Club Rd
How to get there: Board bus service 117 from Yishun MRT, alight After Shell Aviation and walk for 9 mins.
If the world only listened to Bill Gates 6 years ago.
In 2014, the world avoided a horrific global outbreak of Ebola, thanks to thousands of selfless health workers -- plus, frankly, thanks to some very good luck. In hindsight, we know what we should have done better. So, now's the time, Bill Gates suggests, to put all our good ideas into practice, from scenario planning to vaccine research to health worker training. As he says, "There's no need to panic ... but we need to get going." The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. You're welcome to link to or embed these videos, forward them to others and share these ideas with people you know.
