Beautiful Gardens in Singapore

Called this Garden City as my forever home 🇸🇬 sharing with you my favourite Gardens in Singapore. I think it’s my nature like to visit gardens, for my inspiration.. Save this post for your future visit to Singapore 🤍 Can’t believe took awhile to collate all the photos for this video, also can’t believe that i’ve visited those Gardens for many many times 😅 1. Gardens By The Bay being the Best Garden, best time to visit, late afternoon until evening to enjoy Supertree light show. If you like night photography stay until late! The ambience blue light at night look amazing too! 👍 2. Singapore Botanic Garden being the Most Romantic in my opinion, i guess because of the feel you get from classic English Garden. Lake with swan, colonial style pergola and big canopy trees.. It’s being Singapore’s 1st UNESCO World Heritage Site too! National Orchid Garden is worth to visit, check out New Orchidetum includes misty cool house & ‘Secret Ravine’ that mimics mountain forests. Best time to visit very early morning or late afternoon. 3. Most Iconic goes to Jewel Changi Airport, need no introduction for this place. Go and check out their Canopy Park where they have Hedge Maze, Mirror Maze, Sky Nets and many more! Best time to visit i would say in the evening 7-8pm as you can enjoy the light show at HSBC Rain Vortex. 4. For moody portrait photography you might want to check Jurong Lake Garden. There is a grassland with Lone tree sculpture. The Lone Tree is made from recycled iron reinforcement bars salvaged from old park pathways. This sculpture is inspired by the industrial origins of Jurong. Best time to visit 6.30-7am, you’ll get the best light on sunny day. • • • • • #GardensByTheBay #SingaporeBotanicGarden #JewelChangiAirport #JurongLakeGarden #exploreSingapore #discoverSingapore #VisitSingapore #RediscoverSingapore #singaporeinsiders #singaporeworld #things2doinSingapore #singaporeforeveryone #Singapore #SingapoRediscoverS

Singapore National Orchid Garden Coolhouse

Love snapping picture at Singapore Botanic Garden especially at National Orchid Garden.. it’s such a beautiful place for afternoon stroll with family 🥰 Orchid is Singapore’s National Flower. Vanda Miss Joaquim was chosen as Singapore's national flower from among 40 other contenders, including some 30 orchids. For its resilience and year-round blooming quality, it was chosen on 15 April 1981 to represent Singapore's uniqueness and hybrid culture. Tropical Montane Orchidetum The tropical Montane Orchidetum simulates the experience of ascending through a tropical montane forest and showcases a diversity of orchids and other plants (e.g. bromeliads, gingers, tropical rhododendrons, gesneriads (and magnolias) from the rich low to high-elevation montane forest. Each of the display houses within the Orchidetum has been expanded beyond their original size, increasing by almost threefold the combined display area. The Sembcorp Cool House They preserved part of the original 260m2 frame of the original cool house and curated the orchid collection in the Cool House according to five biogeographical regions – Malesia, Continental Southeast Asia and South Asia, Australasia, Afrotropics and the Neotropics. The Sembcorp Cool House is designed to emulate a high elevation montane forest, which exists at altitudes of 1,000m to 2,000m, and with a surrounding temperature of 16 to 23 degrees Celsius. Researchers will be able to study rare orchids that are naturally found only at higher elevations, such as such as Cymbidiums (also known as Boat Orchids), Dendrochilums (also known as Chain Orchids), Cyrtochilums and Phragmipediums (also known as Slipper Orchids). This will greatly benefit taxonomic and floristic research, as researchers will be able to grow rare species, before identifying and documenting them at a later stage when they flower. Approximately 1,000 orchid species and hybrids are exhibited in the Cool House, together with new varieties from other plant families beyond orchids, an increase from the previous collection of 350 orchid species. Also growing among the orchids, are collections of carnivorous plants, begonias that have characteristic shimmering leaves that help them to thrive in areas with low light levels. National Orchid Garden Opening hours 8.30am - 7.00pm daily (last ticket sales and entry at 6.00pm) • • • • • #SingaporeBotanicGardens #NationalOrchidGarden #exploreSingapore #discoverSingapore #VisitSingapore #RediscoverSingapore #singaporeinsiders #singaporeworld #things2doinSingapore #singaporeforeveryone #Singapore #SingapoRediscovers #photography

Clementi Forest

A day of adventure in west side of Singapore. Clementi forest is literally a forest trail with many trees and old railway. It's slippery during rainy season so we gotta be careful! Wet ground will make your shoes stain. The part where there's old railway is quite dark as it's covered like underground but actually not. Please remember to use insect repellent because so many insects here especially during rainy and dengue season. Don't go during afternoon sunset time because it will be too dark! #naturewonders #singapore #exploresingapore #park #nationalpark #forest #railway #urbanexplorer #discoversingapore

DIY Peking Duck

Address - Yan Chuan Roaster 809 French Rd, #01-43/44/45, Singapore 200809 Ambiance/Facilities - casual dining Highlights - pass by this peking duck restaurant at lavender area.

The moment we entered the hotel lobby, we were greeted and served by the friendly front desk staff. The check in was processed fast. The room we got was located at the high floor with amazing view from the window which what I like the most. With modern looking and well furnished room, the amenities provided was more than enough. Cleanliness was good and housekeeping staffs available all the time. As it was the hotel reopening for staycation, a complimentary set of dessert and gifts were given to us. The infinity pool is among one of the most beautiful pool with such a spectacular view. Very instagrammable . It was huge with both children and adult pool. Comfortable enough for a swim.

Art Now - Singapore

📍Raffles Hotel Arcade, 328 North Bridge Rd, #02-32, S188719 Art now is a small gallery on the second floor on Singapore Raffles Hotel. 🖼It’s also a lifestyle retail store, a furnishing space or anything else. It’s actually hard to define this space. But the certain thing is it’s a good place to take photos for girls lol.📷 There’re some interesting, imaginative design or artworks exhibited here, and some of them are for sale, with a high price for sure. There’re small QR codes beside some artworks to know more about the artist.🖌️ The most popular artwork in the place must be the lively wax figure of Picasso, Einstein and others. 👨🏻‍🎨Generally speaking, it’s free and not large space. So instead of going there, I’ll recommend you maybe dropping by sometime when shopping around or eating at Raffles Hotel. #discoversingapore
