Historic
Walk at Fort Canning Hill
Fort Canning is the most historic part of Singapore. Fort Canning
has a long history that goes as far as the 14th century when it was
still during the reign of the Malay Kingdom, Temasek. Fort Canning
is now a unique city park with countless performances. Its recreational
gardens are filled with the sweet scent of lemongrass, cloves, pandan
plants and the "tongkat ali" plants with couples posing
for pictures with scenic views of the town.
Want to share a private moment with your love? You can find the
most private seats at the summit of the Fort Canning Hill, and you
will certainly find yourselves stargazing.

Canoeing
If you are looking to reach and enjoy true solitude with your loved
one - canoeing in warm ocean water or still and clear waters of
Singapore's various reservoirs. Paddle and explore the idyllic waters
in and around Singapore, catch a bit of the sun and live up the
fitness spirit. To rent your double kayak, head over to any of the
sea sports operators at Changi Point, East Coast Park, MacRitchie
Reservoir, Kallang Sea Sports Club and Sentosa Island. Working together
to pilot your own little canoe built-for-two across the mighty ocean/
lake brings you together in a way that dinner and a movie just can't.

Cycling
Cycling is a great way to explore the parks and natural reserves
of Singapore. Cycling tracks are abound in the parks, so rent a
couple of bikes and cruise along while enjoying the pleasant and
serene ambience. But if you want something really tougher than flat
ground, try mountain biking at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve or Pulau
Ubin. These are untamed tracks, rough and raw, going over steep
slopes and gravel paths, crossing into some of Singapore's wilderness
and outback sites.

Rollerblading at East Coast Park
If holding hands with your sweetheart and rollerblading is your
thing, head to the tree-lined East Coast Park and feel the sea breeze
gently caress your face. Simply rent a pair of skates from one of
the many rental kiosks and get onto the rollerblading track that
runs along the perimeter of the park, which measures at least 20
km long. You can blade though a McDonald's restaurant, a world's
first skate thru outlet, to purchase drinks or ice cream to quench
your thirst. Or if you're a novice, you can take lessons conducted
by Skateline, a certified skate school.
