We give details for two of these routes below. Please note the walk from Dhoby Ghaut to hotel Fort Canning is considerably shorter.

- At the end of Penang Lane, take the small foot path on your left. Follow this foot path towards the YWCA. After walking for 50-100 meters you should be able to see Hotel Fort Canning across the road on the hill.
