Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay is the most iconic landmark in Singapore. The unusual landscape is free to explore and if you head there at 8 pm, you can experience a live show.

There are many hiking roots at MacRitchie Reservoir. Cross MacRitchie Treetop Walk to see exotic birds and monkeys jumping through the trees.

Free Walking Tour

There are many free walking tours in Singapore. These offer backpackers the chance to learn about the unique mix of culture the city has to offer.

Visit Sentosa’s Beaches

Sentosa Boardwalk is great fun to walk along and the beaches are surprisingly picturesque. Spend a day relaxing on white sands for a little excape from the city.

I spent hours wandering around the National Orchid Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens examining all the different corners, with their beautifully curated and maintained displays of orchids. This display, known as the Golden Shower Arches, is named so because of the beautiful yellow orchids visible here. These are oncidium type orchids – the oncidium Goldiana (more commonly known as the golden shower orchid or dancing lady). The particular significance of this orchid is that it happens to be one of the first hybrids ever created at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, all the way back in 1939. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #throwback #stayhomestaysafe #dreamnowtravellater #singapore🇸🇬 #singapore #singaporebotanicgardens #nationalorchidgarden #orchids #orchid #orchidslovers #orchidsofinstagram #orchidlover #orchidflower #orchidlove #orchidsinbloom #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #plants #plantsmakepeoplehappy
