Gardens by the Bay, a spectacular botanical project, stands as a symbol of Singapore's vision for a metropolis in harmony with nature. This urban park, a fusion of architecture, environmental engineering, and landscaping, offers a unique experience for visitors.
Opened in June 2012, the gardens span over 100 hectares and feature over a million botanical specimens. The iconic Supertrees, reaching up to 50 meters, are vertical ecosystems with photovoltaic panels and rainwater harvesting systems. They host a light and sound show at night, enchanting visitors.
The OCBC Skyway offers panoramic views of the park and city skyline. The Cloud Forest and Flower Dome provide immersive experiences, recreating diverse ecosystems. The Cloud Forest features a 35-meter-high indoor waterfall, while the Flower Dome showcases international floral collections. Entry to the external gardens is free, offering a sensory experience. Gardens by the Bay demonstrates how urbanization can embrace nature, making it an integral part of the urban identity.
