Gardens By the Bay

By October 6, 2016 Singapore No Comments

This is now my favourite place in Singapore!!!  My friend Rina has been telling me about this but we never had time to go!  We were able to pass by this trip for a few hours and it is worth the visit!!

gardens-by-the-bay-50There is no charge to go around the outside gardensgardens-by-the-bay-29 Since we arrived at 5pm already and had an hour left before our dinner reservations, we just took the audio tour which takes 20 minutes to go around the outside gardens.  There is a fee for this 🙂  It’s a big area so we would not have had the time to walk it all.  The ride does not stop so you cannot see the individual gardens.  It is just to see more or less the different gardens and a glimpse of the gardens.  We still need to go back to see each garden gardens-by-the-bay-30The trolleygardens-by-the-bay-32Singaporeans really take their landscaping seriously.  Even if it is such a small country, they allot a lot of space for greenery and it is beautifully done

 The main entrance has 3 Super Trees

CREATED BY MARC QUINN
The Meadow
White painted bronze, stainless steel
A hefty seven tons, this impressive bronze sculpture is 9m long and 3m tall. It portrays an oversized reproduction of the artist’s own son, Lucas, as a baby. The sculpture’s weight is masterfully balanced on the infant’s right hand, creating the illusion that the sculpture is floating in the air. Created in 2008, the sculpture was exhibited for the first time at the Beyond Limits exhibition of contemporary sculpture at Chatsworth House, then later at the 2012 The Littoral Zone, at the Musee Oceanographic in Monaco. ##GardensByTheBay #H2HSingapore #H2HArtgardens-by-the-bay-42
