Singapore Botanical Gardens is a man-made wonder. The first greeting that a visitor will find is the sound of water fall. While artificially created, the sound of water falling is surprising peaceful right in the middle of the city. The lush greenery compliments the sound of falling water. I walked via the southern route, passing by symphony lake, national orchid garden, ginger garden, bandstand, and swan lake.
Comments:-
(1) Public carpark was free for the first hour and S$0.02 per minutes thereafter. This is a reasonable charge. Entrance to the gardne is free.
(2) National Orchid Garden charges a S$5 fee per person. As there are plentiful other opportunities to capture other scenery. I didn't pay to visit.
(3) I was impressed by the large karpok tree classified as a heritage tree which was planted back in 1933.
(4) The garden was first established in 1859. Wow.
(5) Many FT were in the garden, not many Singaporeans.
(6) Frangrance flows in the garden. This is because of the abundance flowers.
(7) Many birds as they find solace in the concrete jungle.
(8) Saw squirrels.
(9) Garden has a bonsai section which is interesting.
(10) Direction and information are useful and commonly found. Unlike Pulau Ubin. This garden is meant for tourist as well.
(11) Npark has done a good job preserving and spicing up the area. This is afterall a showcase for Singapore.
(12) I spent about 1 hour 45 minutes walking around the gardens.
