Observing the surroundings from Singgora hill defence fort

Continuing from the article Taking the ferry to old Singgora.

In that article I have shown a zoom-in or close-up picture of the hill of Singgora overlooking a small town which is also known as old Singgora town.

I soon found out there are old fort remains accesible by sets of staircases from another side of the hill. Late in the afternoon I climbed up for a look.

Soon I reached the lowest fort remains. Look at the article Kota pertahanan Singgora atas bukit (Singgora defence fort on hill) - Bahagian bawah (Lower section) in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART).

Views from that level...

After enjoying the somewhat limited views I continued climbing.

Next I arrived at what the turned out to be the 2nd out of 3 fort remains on this hill. Look at the article Kota pertahanan Singgora atas bukit (Singgora defence fort on hill) - Bahagian tengah (Middle section).

Wider vistas open up at this level...

Encouraged by what I have seen so far I pushed myself on to the next level...

And so I arrived at the highest one. Look at Kota pertahanan Singgora atas bukit (Singgora defence fort on hill) - Bahagian puncak (Summit section)

Here you can get 360 degree views of the surroundings.

The geography of the district of Songkhla and its surroundings were practically laid bare for up to 20 km away towards all directions as I try to match what could be seen with the naked eye with what I can remember from maps and satellite pictures as available on Google Earth...
