#8 Take off down a MacRitchie Reservoir trail

Aside from being a beautiful location for a jog, MacRitchie Reservoir has five scenic hiking trails through the forest. Ranging from 3km to 11km, each path gives you magnificent views of the reservoir and its surrounding bush, as well as chances to spot heaps of creatures like long-tailed macaque monkeys, wild boars, squirrels, snakes and monitor lizards.
