Singapore's Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay is Singapore's newest attraction at the Marina Bay Promontory area.  Imagine yourself in a vast sprawling garden that is tucked in the middle of a bustling metropolis. This is also interconnected and directly accessible from the Marina Bay Sands itself.  Here is a pictorial tour of the Gardens...

Gardens by the Bay features a diverse range of plant life from southeast asia as well as from the world's four corners. There are at least seven main attraction within Gardens by the Bay.  The main entrance opens to the Dragon Fly Lake.

The Supertrees are a dramatical vertical plant diplays and you will find several of those within the Gardens. These are interconnected by the OCBC Skyway. Tickets are also required for entrance and be prepared to queue.  At nighttime, the Supertrees come to life with a light and sound show!

If you are fit for long walks, try exploring the Heritage Gardens and World of Plants. These are a collection of six gardens. I started to have an appreciation of tropical rainforest tours after joining my daughter's exposure trips at the Singapore Zoo.

Explore the garden in style via Garden Cruiser tram's 25-minute tour. This will take you from the Dragofly Lake and around the picturesque perimeter of the Gardens.

Gardens galore and long walks make a peaceful afternoon.

Gardens by the Bay also got your tummy's covered, from fine dining, seafood restaurant, coffee shop or fast food fare.  Or simply, bring your own picnic basket and blanket and enjoy the afternoon sun sprawled across the lawns.

If you the mere sight of greens and colorful flora brings you a sense of wonder and peace, this is the place for you.  I liked the idea of taking an afternoon stroll in one of the gardens. We found this bench in one of the parks and breeze had a nice, cool feeling as we watch the sunset lurking behind the skytrees. Quite a day.
