One of only two rainforests in the world within city boundries
(the other is in Rio de Janeiro), the 164-hectare reserve
contains more species of plants than the entire North American
continent. At the heart of the reserve lies Singapore's
highest point - Bukit Timah Hill at 164 meters above sea
level - with wildlife like long-tailed macaques, flying
lemurs and the seldom-seen pangolin and mouse deer waiting
to be discovered. Visitors can obtain trail maps from the
Visitor Center and take a leisurely walk while listening
on birds such as the racket-tailed drango, the stripe-throated
titbabbler or the banded woodpecker that can keep you fixated
for a long time.
