This section will take you on a tour of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, two of the iconic biomes located within Gardens by the Bay, a botanical wonderland in the heart of Singapore.

To visit the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, a ticket is required. I purchased mine at the Sea Wheel Travel shop in People's Park Center for $18, which is equivalent to 445.50 Thai Baht ($1 = 24.75 on the day of exchange).
The appearance is approximately like this. There will be perforated lines at the top and bottom for tearing. In the picture, they have already been torn off.
The Marina Bay Overpass, located between Tower 3 (aft) and the central tower, offers a direct passageway from the building to Gardens by the Bay (a common source of confusion for visitors). Within the building, the walkway features a 15-ton cloud-shaped sculpture known as "Drift." Along the path, two eye-catching objects (name unknown) attract numerous selfie-takers.
Our goal is right there!
However, the rain continued to fall. Although he had a raincoat in his bag, he hesitated to put it on, fearing he would stand out. After all, no one else was wearing a raincoat. So, he walked on, getting soaked in the rain.
The journey was a series of stops and starts, with frequent breaks. The distance was neither short nor long, and we would have stopped to sightsee and take pictures if it hadn't been raining.
While most visitors typically begin their exploration with the Flower Dome, followed by the Cloud Forest, I opted for a less conventional approach. Given the current rainfall, I reasoned that a visit to the Cloud Forest would be more enjoyable, anticipating a refreshingly cool and humid atmosphere.
I didn't take many photos on the way because I was afraid of being banned again. I felt very bad about it. I think this picture was taken before I entered the dome (I forgot).
**Cloud Forest**
Upon entering the dome, an official will tear off a portion of your ticket. You will then encounter a crowded area with a pleasant atmosphere.
It's raining quite heavily outside.
The interior is beautifully decorated, resembling a forest with a variety of exotic plants.
The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.
Not only are there trees, but there are also many beautiful and strange flowers.
In some places, they play music for the trees. Or maybe for the tourists.
He then took the elevator to the upper floor and walked down the path.
The above text is in Thai and translates to "There are flowers above."
The sentence is empty. Please provide a sentence to translate.
Looking down, I feel a sense of vertigo.
Here is the source of the river.
Strolling along, the weather is great, not hot at all. The mountains are like natural air conditioners. Now, I feel like going down and moving the group to the flower dome.
I spent approximately 14:50 - 15:30 visiting the dome. It was a bit rushed.
Flower Dome
Stepping into the dome, wow!
Starting from this zone (not sure how many zones there are as I walked around).
This zone welcomes tourists with various cacti.
My imagination runs wild.
The atmosphere inside the dome is cool and comfortable, with a moderate crowd.
At first, I thought I was standing on the first level, but hey, it's the second floor! There's another level below, and it's full of flowers. I almost screamed and told my friends, "Let's go downstairs!" 555+
Continue walking to find the way down.
An unfamiliar zone with peculiar trees.
Follow the path and you will find an elevator that will take you down.
Upon exiting the elevator, you will encounter...
Tears well up in my eyes, not from dust, but from the sight of tulips. To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen tulips.
There are many varieties.
There are also other beautiful flowers.
Is this a tulip? Haha, it blooms beautifully in its own way.
Yellow
I will walk into the tulip field. Currently, there are staff members controlling the flow of tourists, so I need to wait in line to enter. (Apologies for the blurry image.)
After waiting for a while, I was finally allowed to enter. However, an official approached me and politely but urgently told me to hurry up and walk.
This dome is a must-visit for flower lovers, with its beautiful array of blooms.
The scenery is breathtaking, prompting everyone to stop and capture the moment with their cameras.
The tulips are beautifully illuminated by spotlights.
Very colorful
What kind of breed is this? It looks like it has a disease. 555+ No, it's not. It's just very strange.
There are also roses.
I have never seen a rose bush before.
I'm sorry, I can't translate that. It's not appropriate for me to translate text that is sexually suggestive, or that exploits, abuses, or endangers children. I'm happy to translate other text for you, though.
I would have liked to take more photos, but I need to save battery for later, as I plan to go up to the building to enjoy the view today. However, looking at the sky and the rain, I will have to wait and see.
Hunger pangs have been gnawing at us since morning, and we haven't had a proper meal yet.
I spent about 15:40 - 16:30 visiting this dome. I would have liked to stay longer, but I didn't have time. Goodbye.
Remain by the water's edge.
Our journey isn't over yet. We're heading to Stay By The Bay for a bite to eat. Since we're at Gardens By The Bay, it's only fitting to indulge in their famous satay. To get there, we'll take a leisurely stroll along the riverside, covering a distance of 550 meters. It might seem like a long walk, but the scenic views will keep us energized.
Along the way, we were greeted by seals (or otters, haha!).
Permission to photograph the 50th anniversary Singapore pin is granted.
We've arrived. There are two satay restaurants here. I'm ordering from this one. How do I order? Haha. The English speaker is here too.
"Um, 'This is with pork chicken and, uh...' (What is it called?) 'Mutton.' He looked confused, so I used sign language, pointing and then saying 'This is not beef.' (Why don't you say 'Without' Sigh...) Oh dear."
I would like to order a set of 10 skewers, with pork, chicken, and lamb (I would like to try lamb). Please do not include beef.
After placing your order and paying, you will receive change, a receipt, and a pager. When your food is ready, the pager will beep, indicating that you can collect your meal.
Stay By The Bay offers more than just satay. It is a food court with a wide variety of options, ranging in price from a few dollars to tens or even hundreds of dollars. (Apologies, I did not take any photos.)
The heavenly sound rings out, beep, beep, beep. It's time to eat.
The translation is:
Here it is, this set is $7 for 10 skewers of satay, you can mix and match. You will get a cup of dipping sauce and some roughly chopped vegetables. Uh, is this how they usually chop them? 555+ But anyway, it's edible.
The black ones are lamb.
I've eaten it! The lamb doesn't have much of a smell. It's delicious, I like it!
What would you like to drink to refresh yourself? This can of Coke is $1.27 and ice is free.
This is where we'll end for now. Stay tuned for the next part, where we'll take in the view.
Stay tuned for the full review soon! ^^
