Jejawi Tower

The Jejawi Tower stands at a soaring height of 20 metres and is situated at the Chek Jawa Wetlands in Singapore. The chirp of birds in the thick canopy of the lush forests, the chatter of monkeys up to some mischief, and the breathtaking view of the tropical forest and the ocean below are what make this place an ideal spot for nature enthusiasts.

Majestic birds like the kingfisher and the rare white-bellied eagles can be sighted from the Jejawi Tower, along with parakeets, herons and other birds. The gorgeous landscape is not the only thing that will mesmerize you, as one is also privy to witnessing aeroplanes preparing to land at or take off from the nearby Changi Airport. The stillness of the area, the mangroves underneath, and the beautiful sight of yachts peppered across the horizon near the Changi Sailing Club make this place one of a kind. The construction of this magnificent, seven-storeyed structure reached completion in 2007 and has been acting as an observation deck since then. The railings of the wooden structure are constructed using aluminium so that it can withstand the harsh weather changes in the wetlands. The Jejawi Tower gets its name from the native Malayan Banyan tree which grows in close proximity to it.

A maximum of twenty people are allowed to climb the tower at a time, and you can feel the vibrations of every little movement once you reach the top. If you wish to find solace in the bustling city-state of Singapore, this is the place to be.
