Singapore is, amongst many things, the host of a very diverse natural population, despite its rapid rate of urbanization, and one of the best ways to savour its natural surrounds is through a visit to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Whilst you are here, consider checking into a stylish serviced apartment Singapore has to offer nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts such as those featured at the Somerset Bencoolen Singapore. With elegant interiors and welcome hospitality, these Singapore serviced apartments are some of the most stylish in the city. Venture to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve for an intriguing glimpse into the region’s wildlife and marvel at the truly diverse denizens of the animal kingdom that populate the area. It is home to over 840 species of plants that bear vibrant flowers, as well as housing over 500 animal species. Small in size (400 acres), it is sadly the region’s largest patches of original rainforest left in the country. On 18 October, it was inaugurated as an ASEAN Heritage Park. It derives its name from the Bukit Timah hill, which stretches up to 164 metres, and the reserve is a popular draw amongst locals and tourists looking for some welcome communion with nature.
