Singapore unveils iconic mega park
GARDENS by the Bay’s first garden Bay South, which took the National Parks Board five years and S$1bil (RM2.5bil) to create, has opened its doors to the public.
Described by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as “a jewel in the skyline of the Singapore city”, the mega park features two of the world’s largest cooled conservatories, more than 2,000 plant species from nearly every continent and 18 Supertrees, which are vertical gardens of up to 50m tall.
The country’s latest icon is also kitted out with green technology –horticultural waste, for example, cools the twin domes. The gardens have six dining outlets, with two more opening later this year.
The attraction is open from 5am to 2am daily.
The two conservatories and the OCBC Skyway, a 128m-long aerial walkway, are open from 9am to 9pm daily. — The Straits Times / Asia News Network
