The World Economic Forum has elected Singapore the most ‘technology-ready’ nation and one of the 'world’s smartest cities'. Therefore it comes as no surprise that the city engages in futuristic projects such as the Garden by the Bay.
This central 100-hectare garden aims to enhance the greenery and raise the quality of life in the city. The garden is free to access and visitors can admire the Supertree Grove, a complex of 12 metal tree-shaped structuress home to exotic plants and vines.
The Supertrees are 100% eco-friendly and equipped with photovoltaic cells collecting solar energy to power the evening light and music shows. Visitors can walk the OCBC Skyway on a suspended bridge 50m above the gardens linking the central trees, offering stunning views of the surrounding plant life.
The garden is also famous for its two conservatory domes. The flower dome is home to seven gardens and hundreds of different plant species. The cloud forest dome is an impressive tropical dome which recreates tropical moist conditions, waterfalls and is home to hundreds of protected plants in seven themed levels.
