Both of the conservatories of the Gardens by the Bay in Singapore as seen from the water, the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome
This is a view of the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome conservatories in the Gardens by the Bay, an important tourist attraction in Singapore. A portion of of the supertrees can also be seen in this photo. The photo was taken from a Duck cruise, an amphibious vehicle that takes tourists for a land and water tour. Gardens by the Bay is the newest tourist attraction of Singapore, and was meant to increase the amount of greenery in the city, trying out a concept called "City in a Garden", rather than being a "Garden City". It provides more green space in the city, a major attraction, as well as being a large outdoor space. The park spans 250 hectares, reclaimed land, next to the Marina Reservoir. Once fully completed, there will be 3 components - Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden. Some of the more prominent structures inside the Gardens are the Supertrees and the Conservatories (the Flower Dome and the Cloud Forest). The Flower Dome is larger than the Cloud Forest, having a size of 3 acres and will display plants that are typically found in the Mediterranean and similar regions while the Cloud Forest has a size of 2 acres and is meant to display plants that are found in tropical mountain regions (with a height between 1000 and 3000 meters above sea level). The Supertrees are the incredible tree like structures that act like vertical gardens and host exotic species of plants such as ferns, orchids and vines.
