Garden by the bay, Singapore

Gardens by the Bay is a park spanning 101 hectares (250 acres) of reclaimed land in central Singapore, adjacent to the Marina Reservoir. The park consists of three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government to transform Singapore from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". The stated aim is to raise the quality of life by enhancing greenery and flora in the city.

The scenery along the way to Flower Dome and The Cloud Forest. 

The Supertree. Supertrees are tree-like structures that dominate the Gardens' landscape with heights that range between 25 metres (82 ft) and 50 metres (160 ft). They are vertical gardens that perform a multitude of functions, which include planting, shading and working as environmental engines for the gardens.

Flower Dome:





How lucky am I as I can enjoy myself in the largest tulip-themed floral show, Dutch spring with Tulipmania. There are
spectacular display of 20,000 tulips in a vibrant myriad of spring colours such as red, pink, yellow, white and purple. Awwww!!





















What excites me the most! See, those colourful tulip.. BEAUTIFUL!






The Cloud Forest:
The Cloud Forest replicates the cool moist conditions found in tropical mountain regions between 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) above sea level, found in South-East Asia, Middle- and South America. It features a 42-metre (138 ft) "Cloud Mountain", accessible by an elevator, and visitors will be able to descend the mountain via a circular path where a 35-metre (115 ft) waterfall provides visitors with refreshing cool air. The entry level contains plants from the lower regions, foothills and includes numerous ferns, orchids, rare conifers, camelias. 



View from the transparent Dome,  we can see the Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands. :)







Garden by the bay, thumbs up! I love the fresh air and nose-pleasing fragrance of the tulip and plants too. Such a nice place, I call it heaven. :)
