One of the benefits of having an approximately 10 hour layover in Singapore is that there is an opportunity to take a quick city tour. The tour is about 2.5 hours so one does not get to see a great deal of the city, but at least one gets out of the airport
Our first stop was Gardens By The Bay, which is a 105 hectare/260 acre set of three gardens which encompass 1.5 million different species of plants.
These sculptures are called Supertrees. They are gardens themselves, and allow plants like ferns and vines to flourish. They also has photovoltaic cells, which allow them to light up at night.
The gardens are filled with plants and sculpture.
I have been known when traveling to various large cities to seek out their arboretum. Just seeing all the plants and trees arranged in artistic ways being me peace and in some ways, a sense of the culture of the area I'm visiting. I've never left an arboretum and have felt dissatisfied.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of fauna to cultivate, like to see the budget for those three gardens TB.
