Super Trees @ Gardens by the Bay

Singapore's landscape has improved by tons in recent years. I espcially love the Super Trees, I think they are not only beautiful but brilliant, as Natural Trees take long time to grow to be big & tall. The 54ha park cost us about $1 billion !!!! Hope it'll attract tons of tourist for us! I love it, so I hope others will as well.


According to the papers, the design version began in 2006 when Grant Associates beat 75 others in the international design competition our NParks held for the gardens master plan. Andrew Grant (founder of Grant Associates) The gardens' master planner & designer drew inspiration from the magical jungles in the Japanese animated film Princess Mononoke. He told reporters that Our government "sense of thinking ahead" impressed him alot! To top it off, there's a  clear & direct link  from policies to materialization of them (super efficient!!!!!) , without going through a whole lot of different & diffcult  channels like what they usually do in Europe! All these made it possible.

Had a glimpse of it when I drove by the other day. The creepers had not reach the top yet. Are they creepers.... not sure what to call them but saw many people there taking pictures... I've a HK friend coming to visit soon, will have to bring her there!
