HSBC TreeTop Walk (part 1) - plan your route...

What is the HSBC TreeTop Walk (HSBC TTW)?
This is a freestanding suspension bridge that connects the 2 highest point (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and supposed to offer a bird’s eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest. The length of the walkway is about 250m and its height from the forest floor varies with the highest point at 25m.

Why is it named HSBC TreeTop Walk (HSBC TTW)?
Because HSBC and NParks established the HSBC-GCF (Garden City Fund) TreeTop Walk Fund to support programmes and activities meant for conservation, education and outreach.
