Henderson Waves
Distance: 0.3 kmWalking Time: 05 mins
At 36 metres above Henderson Road, Henderson Waves is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It was built to connect the two hills of Mount Faber and Telok Blangah Hill.The bridge has a unique wave-form made up of seven undulating curved steel “ribs” that alternately rise over and under its deck. The curved “ribs” form alcoves that function as shelters with seats within.Slats of yellow balau wood, an all-weather timber found in South-East Asia, are used in the decking. Look out for carvings on the slats marking the height you are at on various points along the bridge.The wave-forms will be lit with attractive LED light from 7pm to 2am daily, giving the bridge an illuminative glow.

the Dos and Don'tsWe did see some youngsters skate-boarding there. It's really dangerous. Who knows.. one might just skate out of the "waves".
The photo I like most
I would say it's really a nice place to chill for couples or hang out with your friends at night. The place is quiet and the scenery is fantastic. I hope Singapore will have more of such places.
