Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay in Singapore




Gardens by the Bay


Flower Dome and Cloud Forest 

Cloud forest means a foggy forest and generally can be found in tropical countries. These evergreen forests can be identified by their unique moist and misty nature which makes several layers of threes usually large trees in cope with a canopy layer and grass layer. Unfortunately, Singapore is not a country with these kind of massive cloud forests yet they have built an incredible indoor cloud forest which is identical to the real thing.

Singapore is a country that spend tremendously to develop their tourism. As a result of this they created the Gardens by the Bay in Marina Bay front in order to attract tourists. Gardens by the bay consist of several attractions, first of all they have multi-cultural gardens which were beautifully maintained then there are the giant tree groves which take the gardening to a whole new level. There are several indoor gardens such as flower dome and cloud forest and a garden specially design for children as well.


Flower dome is an indoor flower garden which consist of amazing flowers and on the other hand cloud forest is the main tourist attraction, It’s an eight story tall concrete mountain with numerous rare trees and top up with an iconic waterfall and some tree top walking paths. In a country like Singapore where you have limited nature resources to visit, cloud forest has given some hope for indigenous to admire and feel the presence of nature.

Super  Tree Grove

As I said earlier super trees are massive concrete tree structures which add unique beauty to the whole garden and at the same time they support planting and provide shade to the open area.it is free to visit the large tree-like structures but you have to take a ticket to walk on the tree top bridge and if you wish to have dinner on a tree top there is a tree top restaurant as well.At night those super trees are lighted up and gloves in dark to provide a ambient environment should never be missed. 


Bay Front 

Marina bay is one of Singapore’s largest economical hubs where sea meets with some brilliantly designed architectural buildings. It is the best place to review the rapid development of the country and what they achieved in such a short period of time. There are few museums which can be access freely and also some night bars and restaurants with mouthwatering Singaporean cosine. If you are planning to visit Gardens by the bay and bay front it is good to consider the visiting times because early morning would be the best time to visit flower dome and cloud forest and later in the day you can wander around the garden and at evening and night is the best time to see the bay front and super tree grove.

Getting there is absolutely easy, my advice is to take the local MRT which is linked to almost all of the cities and only thing you have to do is find the MRT station nearest to your location and then drop in at Marina bay or bay front, and if you are a travel enthusiast like me it is better to get down at the Marina bay and take the long walk to bay front. And if you are willing to spend few bucks don’t forget to visit the Marina Bay Sands which is one of the luxurious hotels in the globe.

 following are some of the pictures taken at the cloud forest and top of the gardens at the could forest
