Gardens by the Bay

.: August 09, 2012. Thursday :.

It was Singapore's Independence Day, so we had one day off at that day. And since there's a new attraction - Gardens by the Bay - opened up not more than a month ago, we decided to go take a look. What a hot hot day and we arrived at around 12 PM! Me going out there, walking under a direct sunlight? Without an umbrella? Not a chance. So we went to Marina Bay Sands and hang out at a cafe there. After two hours or so, I was finally ready to embrace the sun. It was still hot *and humid* but it was nothing compared to the beautiful landscapes around us. The gardens have the most famous backdrops in Singapore. Marina Bay Sands hotel and Singapore Flyer.

 

These huge trees definitely have become a new landmark in Singapore. Supertree Grove. We didn't have a chance to walk the bridge (sky walk) connecting the super trees. The admission was closed at 4PM because of the National Day Parade that was to be held soon nearby. The entrance fee for the sky walk is $5.
