GARDENS BY THE BAY - Singapore


GARDENS BY THE BAY




Singapore known as the “Lion City”, is one of the world’s major commercial hubs, with the fourth-biggest financial centre and one of the five busiest ports. It has a rich social mix of Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, Indian and the European cultures.

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space right next to Marina Bay Sands, is part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.


 SUPERTREE GROVE





Supertrees are tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens’ landscape with heights that range between 25 m and 50 m, these iconic tree-like vertical gardens are designed with large canopies that provide shade in the day and come alive with an exhilarating display of light and sound at night. 



There is an elevated walkway, between two of the larger supertrees for visitors to enjoy a breathtaking aerial view of the Gardens. The trees harvest solar energy and will eventually be home to over 160,000 plants.


THE FLOWER DOME





Dome is the largest glass greenhouse in the world as listed in the 2015 Guinness World Records. It is a very spectacular and innovative design so it is one of the icons of Bay South Garden. 




The Flower Dome replicates the cool-dry climate of Mediterranean regions like South Africa, California and parts of Spain and Italy. Home to a collection of plants from deserts all over the world, it showcases the adaptations of plants to arid environments. Stop and smell the flowers in the colorful changing displays of the Flower Field, which reflects different seasons, festivals and themes.




THE CLOUD FOREST





Enter the Cloud Forest, a mysterious world veiled in mist; entirely different from the Flower Dome. 



A huge 35m man made mountain dominates the dome and it covered in lush vegetation shrouding the world’s tallest indoor waterfall showcases plant life from tropical highlands up to 2,000m above sea level.



 You can explore the interior of the mountain, which includes a treetop boardwalk, stalactites and stalagmites and some great views of the Marina Bay area.
