Jelutong Tower

The Tower.

Named after a common forest tree, the Jelutong Tower allows visitors to have a bird’s eye-view of the varied terrain of the MacRitchie Reservoir and the skyline beyond. This seven-storeyed observation tower (reaching 20m in height) can be reached via three access routes – the Golf Link, Sime Track and the Rifle Range Link. I took the Golf Link route, a boardwalk that hugs the reservoir's edge of the Singapore Island Country Club (Bukit Location).
An exhilarating view from the top of the Tower. See the Reservoir beyond ?
