Mount Faber has always been a favorite sanctuary for my sister and me. Whenever there was anything troubling us, we would take the cable car and go up there to be surrounded by peace and quiet in the lush forested park. Actually it can also be reached through well maintained walking trails but our preferred mode of transportation has always been the reliable cable cars.
Formerly known as Telok Blangah hill, Mount Faber is one the oldest parks in Singapore. It covers almost 56 hectares with stunning panoramic views of the southwestern part of the country and its surrounding islands. It is said that you can even see the nearby archipelago of Indonesia. But I wouldn't know where to look.
We were still soaking wet from the earlier heavy downpour at Sentosa and were already a bit hungry. A light snack at the Arbora restaurant refreshed us as we waited for the sun to set, just basking in the serenity and the humidity as we were 100 meters above sea level.
