The Ulu Pandan reservoir at the West Coast of Singapore is a quiet place for some long distance run training. The reservoir is separated only by a narrow seawall from the sea and the neighboring industrial harbour facilities.
In the morning totally deserted, you may only meet some lonely runners, monitor lizards on the way to their breakfast and some turtles. If you come early enough you can see a beautiful sunrise, coloring the undisturbed water of the reservoir.
