Gardens by the Bay
Central Singapore
Gardens by the Bay is a vast urban park spanning 105 hectares in central Singapore, adjacent to Marina Reservoir. It comprises three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden, and Bay Central Garden, each offering unique landscapes and experiences. The Bay South Garden, the largest at 54 hectares, showcases tropical horticulture with a master plan inspired by the orchid, Singapore's national flower. This garden features two cooled conservatories-the Flower Dome, the world's largest columnless glasshouse, and the Cloud Forest-both designed with sustainable technologies. Visitors can explore themed gardens within the Flower Dome that display exotic plants from Mediterranean and semi-arid regions worldwide. The park is also famous for its Supertrees, vertical gardens that provide shade and environmental functions like rainwater collection and air cooling. Bay East Garden offers scenic waterfront promenades and unobstructed views of the city skyline, while Bay Central Garden connects the two larger gardens with a 3-kilometre promenade. Gardens by the Bay was developed to transform Singapore into a "City in a Garden," enhancing urban greenery and quality of life. It is a major tourist attraction, recognized globally for its innovative design and environmental sustainability.
