When I was ten years old, my grandparents decided to escape the city and head for Jurong Bird Park, the only place we had yet to explore.

After hours of strolling around the trails, we stumbled upon a hidden path, barely a whisper of a trail through the thick foliage. 

Then we heard a low rumble, like distant thunder, that grew louder with each step. And there we saw a cascading ribbon of crystal-clear waterfalls!

The city noise and the heat just melted away. All we could hear was the water’s soothing roar, and we felt the cool spray on our faces. 

Right then, I knew I had stumbled upon a hidden treasure I wasn’t about to keep a secret for long. That’s why I’ve compiled this list of amazing waterfall scenes in Singapore to let you admire their enchanting beauty!
