GARDENS BY THE BAY - THE FLOWER DOME [PART 2]

"The flower doesn't dream of the bee;

it blossoms and the bee comes."

~ Mark Nepo ~

Some of the flowers seen in the Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. Sometimes they were just too beautiful I thought they were artificial flowers made of plastic.

There was a special orchid exhibition at the centre of the dome, hence there are more orchids this time.

Click HERE and HERE to see the flowers I saw in the Flower Dome when I first visited Gardens by the Bay back in 2012. I just realized there were no roses this time.

GARDENS BY THE BAY - THE FLOWER DOME [PART 1]

13th August 2016 ~ After Sultan Mosque and Kampong Glam, we made our move to the next tourists' attractions - Gardens by the Bay. We took the MRT from Bugis Station to Bayfront which cost us SG$1.60 each. We then walked to the venue which was quite far actually but that was what (almost) everybody was doing.

at the connecting pedestrian tunnel

This was just the gate to the main buildings. We had to walk further, through a few gardens, to get to the ticket counter. Actually there was a tram service available if you are too lazy to walk but I am not sure whether you have to pay extra for the service or not.

To visit both the "Flower Dome" and "Cloud Forest", the ticket is SG$28 for a non-Singaporean. Another option you have is to walk on OCBC Skyway (something like sky bridges) but you have to pay extra.

This is one place that I would just love to sit down and be immersed with the beauty and colours of nature. At least I have had some experience of living in a small piece of (artificial) heaven on earth.
