Mount Faber was originally named Telok Blangah Hill. It was renamed to Mount Faber in July 1845 to honor Charles Edward Faber, an engineer from Madras who constructed a winding road to the hill's top for setting up a signal station.
In 1964, a beautiful park was established on Mount Faber – offering tourists breathtaking panoramic views of Keppel Harbour and the Central Business District. Then, in 2005, the cable car station on Mount Faber became Faber Peak, a famous spot among tourists. Here, you can enjoy cocktails at bars and restaurants while overlooking stunning views.
Getting to Mount Faber using public transportation might not be as convenient because there are no bus stops or MRT stations directly at Mount Faber. You'd need to get off at the nearest bus stop or MRT station and then walk for about 15 minutes or more – depending on your fitness level.

As mentioned earlier, there are many exciting activities to enjoy at Mount Faber Park. Here are some of the best ones you shouldn't miss:
At the top of Mount Faber is the Bell of Happiness. You can ring this bell and take pictures in front of it. Mount Faber's Bell of Happiness bell was a gift to Sentosa Island in 1992, but in 2012, this bell was given to Mount Faber Park. There is a belief in this place that if the couple rings this bell, they will receive blessings, harmony, happiness, and peace throughout their lives.
Not far from the Bell of Happiness is Wishing Bells. The concept of this place is similar to the love locks in Namsan Tower, South Korea, which is a fence with lots of padlocks. You can buy a padlock at a shop near the cable car location, then write your wish on the padlock and attach it to the fence.
When you are in Mount Faber Park, don't miss visiting Henderson Waves. You can come to this place in the afternoon because of the magnificent sunset. Henderson Waves is a 274-meter-long bridge that connects Mount Faber to Telok Blangah Hill Park.
