The Gardens by the Bay (Gardens by the Bay) tropical park in Singapore is a beautiful world landmark, as well as an incredibly complex architectural and landscape project that was created almost five years ago. Designers and developers of this wonderful place could surprise visitors not only with rare tropical plants, but also with complex architectural designs.

Park Gardens and their features

Inside the park is divided into three gardens. Among themselves, they differ not only in the species of tropical plants; each of them has its own unique elements. Let's consider features of everyone:

1. Garden of the South Bay . The main attraction of this garden are huge futuristic trees, which in height reach 25 and 50 meters. They are connected by bridges and tunnels. At the height you will see breathtaking landscapes of the park and Singapore itself. Miracle trees are metal constructions, on the frame of which are vertically arranged tropical flowers and ferns. During the day, they absorb the energy of the sun, and in the evening thousands of neon highlights emit a beautiful light. From a distance such trees resemble giant dandelions. At the top of some buildings are restaurants (some of the best in Singapore) and observation platforms with binoculars. To climb the miracle trees you can with the help of the elevator, but the entrance to it is paid: $ 15 will cost a children's ticket, and $ 20 - an adult. If you are a professional photographer, then you have to pay $ 25 to be allowed to take photos.
2. Garden of the East Gulf . Being in it, you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the Garden of the South Bay, as well as visit the delightful greenhouses - "Rainforest" and "Flower Dome". Outwardly they resemble giant blue seashells. In the first you will be enchanted by the atmosphere of the mountain nature. Here you can see the artificially created mountain waterfall and get acquainted with its tropical inhabitants. In the flower greenhouse you will plunge into the realm of tropical flowers and cacti, which will not leave you indifferent either. The entrance to these greenhouses is paid for - from $ 8.
3. Garden of the Central Gulf . It is a quay, the length of which is more than 3 km. Walking along it, you will enjoy a view of the Eastern and Southern gardens. Here you can just read a book or arrange a picnic on the lawn. Of course, amazing tropical plants will bewitch you with their beauty.

The coastal gardens in Singapore will acquaint you with the culture of ancient ethnic groups - Indian, Chinese, etc. A lot of fountains, benches, statuettes and sculptures you will find in different parts of the territory.
