Midwood

Steeped In Green And Granite Waking up to nature at your doorstep is a luxury, not even money can guarantee, given Singapore’s limited land mass for great nature. Hillview is one such area that is naturally endowed with lush greenery, encircled by the woodlands of Bukit Gombak, Bukit Batok Nature Park, and notably Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Bukit Batok Town Park. Afterall, Hillview took its name from the fact that the estate overlooks Bukit Timah Hill, Singapore’s highest hill. Starting your day with so many verdant options, the frolicking can begin in the famed Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which is right next to Hillview. Armed with water and suntan lotion, this exploration of one of the largest patches of primary rainforests left in Singapore, which is also an ASEAN Heritage Park, is bound to be fun, exciting and a worthy workout. Botany enthusiasts, or curious children beginning to learn about nature, will find this park a paradise for its abundance of specimens - over 840 species of flowering plants and over 500 species of fauna. For the more active, the park also accommodates running, hiking, strolling and even more extreme sports such as mountain biking, rock-climbing and abseiling. For the former sport, there is a 6.5 km trail called the Bukit Timah Mountain Bike Trail (BTM) which goes to Dairy Farm Road and Hinhinde Park. Now you can have an adrenaline boost just biking out of your house to this rocky and challenging trail. While you explore the park, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for wildlife like the playful crab-eating macaque, golden orb-web spider, slender squirrels. Malayan pangolin and the rare red-cheeked flying squirrel, among others. Once you’ve exhausted Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, move on to the Bukit Timah Town Park, known as the famed Little Guilin due to the disused granite quarry bearing resemblance to the granite rock formations found in Guilin, China. Located less than five minutes away from Bukit Gombak MRT Station and in Hillview itself, the park is the place you want to go to for a deeply rejuvenating stroll and is perfect for artists like painters or writers or anyone who wants to take a moment to be in the present and recollect their thoughts. The park features rugged granite outcrops and a contrasting backdrop of green hills sitting within a large and tranquil lake. Whether it’s a picnic with your family and friends or an early morning run or even a yoga workout, Little Guilin is a fantastic aspect of the Hillview landscape and neighbourhood.
