Singapore Botanic Gardens World Cultural Heritage

🌲The Singapore🇸🇬 Botanic Gardens is located in the south-central part of Singapore. It is the first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in Singapore and one of the three gardens in the world to receive this honor (the other two are the Royal Botanic Gardens in the UK and the Padua Botanic Gardens in Italy). The environment here is quiet and full of birds and flowers. It is a microcosm of the lush tropical island, combining primitive forests🌲 and professional flower gardens, with more than 20,000 kinds of subtropical and tropical exotic flowers and precious trees. It can be divided into tropical and subtropical evergreen trees, palms, bamboo horticultural flowers, aquatic plants, marsh plants, parasitic plants and desert plants, including many endangered species. Adjacent to the eastern mausoleum area is a six-hectare tropical rainforest. This precious original tropical forest is older than the history of the Botanic Gardens and has grown more than half of Singapore's rare plant species. It is also one of the only two tropical rainforests in the world located in the city (the other one is in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). 🌸There is an orchid garden in the Botanic Gardens (Singapore calls orchids Huji flowers), which includes tens of thousands of colorful and varied orchids. When foreign dignitaries visit Singapore, the Singapore government will name the specially cultivated orchids that resemble their character and temperament after the leader, which is a special way for Singapore to treat foreign guests. Go to the Celebrity Garden to find leaders from all over the world. 🌿The Great Lawn: The most famous attraction in the Botanic Gardens, many introductions to the Botanic Gardens will use photos of the Great Lawn. The path next to it is very atmospheric, with a low flat lawn on one side and a towering jungle on the other, which is very contrasting. Seed Bank: On a small hill in the middle of the park. A two-story building, both a laboratory and a science museum. It tells the whole process of a seed from collection to cleaning and then to refrigeration. Through the glass, you can see the full set of instruments and equipment, but it would be more meaningful if you could see the researchers operating. The Botanic Gardens is adjacent to the famous shopping commercial street-Orchard Road, just like a paradise in the bustling city. You must not miss it.
