Mount Faber is a hill located in the central part of Singapore, the place is known for the views it offers of Singapore (the hill rises to 103 meters and the highest point in Singapore is Bukit Timah). The summit is accessible either from the cable car from Harbour Front, or by bus (several stops along the route through Mount Faber), or by walking from the station Harbour Front.

The way up is quite fast by foot but with the ambient heat, I arrived completely sweating at the summit. Fortunately the effort is rewarded by the nice view of Sentosa and an industrial area of one side of the CBD and on the other.

Nice little restaurant with view on the CBD (we can see a little bit of Marina Bay Sands)
At the top, besides the magnificent views over the city, there is a fresco telling the story of the port city of Singapore and the influences of different ethnic groups. There is also a small merlion who stands watching. What I like about this hill is the peace and quiet, the place is usually deserted (which is quite rare in Singapore), the exact opposite of Ion Orchard on a Saturday afternoon.

From the Mount Faber, we can go to Telok Blangah Hill Park, by crossing the highest pedestrian bridge of S)ngapore: the Henderson Waves, a bridge 274 meters long and 36 meters above the ground, shaped in waves. At night, the waves are illuminated in different colors.
