Mangroves, mudflats and ponds covering 130 hectares in the north-west of Singapore, the first wetland reserve gazetted in the country, in 2002. Migratory shorebirds stop here on their long flights, and boardwalks pass monitor lizards, mudskippers and the odd saltwater crocodile.

A patch of primary rainforest on the slopes of Bukit Timah Hill, the country's highest natural peak at about 165 metres. Trails climb to the summit through old trees, among long-tailed macaques, colugos and a remarkable number of plant species for so small a place.
