Mount Faber, Elevated park in Bukit Merah, Singapore.
Mount Faber is a forested hill in Singapore with viewing areas that overlook the southern coast and harbor. The park has multiple terraces and pathways that connect different viewpoints across the hilltop.
The hill was originally called Telok Blangah Hill and was developed into a public park in the 1970s. This transformation turned it into a popular outdoor space for locals and visitors.
The murals at Faber Point show how Singapore transformed from a small fishing community into a modern city through illustrated scenes of daily life and urban growth.
The park can be reached via the Marang Trail from Seah Im Food Centre, which takes about 15 minutes to walk up. The climb is moderate and manageable for most visitors of different fitness levels.
The park is a stopover point for birds of prey, including Black Bazas and White-bellied Eagles that inhabit the forest canopy. Visitors with binoculars can spot these raptors circling over the coast.
