GARDENS BY THE BAY - CLOUD FOREST [PART 2]

"If you love nature,
you'll find beauty everywhere."

~ VAN GOGH ~


These were the plants and flowers that could be found in Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay. They were "wild" but they were undeniably beautiful. And one place which I believe has a high index of oxygen content and I do not mind to build a house to stay here (except the sound of the cascading waterfall might encourage me to visit the bathroom more frequently).

GARDENS BY THE BAY - CLOUD FOREST [PART 1]


The other building in Gardens by the Bay is the Cloud Forest. This is a gigantic glasshouse equipped with an artificial waterfall cascading. It is like a tropical forest being preserved in a a very huge glass bottle.








If you are planning to visit this place, make sure you will be wearing a pair of suitable shoes for walking, preferably sports shoes. Definitely no high heels and at certain places, the flooring could be wet and a bit slippery.

Even though it looked as if there was a mountain climb to get up there, I could not even remember how I ended up so high in the air. You just simply have to walk on the elevated ground which was not steep at all and suddenly you will be walking on the bridge.

The best part of Cloud Forest is that it was so real that I thought that I had done both jungle trekking and mountain climbing at the same time.

THE NON-FLOWERING PLANTS AT GARDENS BY THE BAY

I went to Gardens by the Bay not just to look at the flowers but also to admire the beautiful colours, designs and structures of the leaves. Oxygen abound!




















 


 










 



I am so looking forward to visiting this place again.
