Top 5 Nature Attractions in Singapore

If you are a nature lover, you are in luck as most of the nature attractions in Singapore are free. Sadly there is no mountain in Singapore though there are many hills. Generally except for Gardens by the Bay Flower Dome and Cloud Forest dome,nature attractions are mostly free of charge. Of course the Chinese, Indian and Malay gardens and Super tree groves at Gardens by the Bay are free of charge too but then the key attractions are the Flower dome and Cloud forest. 

1) Gardens by the Bay
If you love to see plants and flowers from all the world continents except for Antarctica in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is the place to go. You can see the baobab trees from Africa, succulent plants and cloud forest. I know there are critics who like to say Gardens by the Bay is not natural and is artificial. Hello, are you trying to say the flowers and plants are artificial? They are real breathing plants! I think Gardens by the Bay is great for people like me who don't travel around the world to see nature. Its expensive to travel to Africa to see baobab trees from Singapore. Gardens by the Bay bring in flowers and plants from around the world to Singapore. Also if you think deeply, Henderson wave, tree-top walk are also not natural and are man-made. They made it easier for us to explore. You can read more in my earlier posts as shown below;
