Four of Singapore's super structures

Four of Singapore's super structures
By admin


1. GARDENS BY THE BAY SUPERTREES

Visitors to the city’s lush new gardens can’t miss the 18 magnificent Supertrees, towering vertical gardens up to 50 metres high. These artificial structures mimic the ecological function of actual trees and sustain the exotic ferns, vines and orchids growing on them. Take a stroll up on the elevated walkway to get a closer look, or sip on a martini right at the top at SuperTree by IndoChine.

2. THE HELIX BRIDGE

Connecting Bayfront to the city centre is this award-winning pedestrian bridge inspired by DNA’s double helix structure. In a feat of great engineering, the sturdy bridge’s delicate steel helices barely seem to touch one another. At night, a series of lights wrap the entire structure in a glowing membrane, making the beautiful curves even more spectacular.

3. MERLION

This imaginary creature with the head of a lion and body of a fish is symbolic of Singapore’s history. The former represents the country’s moniker, ‘lion city’, while the fish body pays tribute to her humble origins as a fishing village. It’s essential for many tourists to capture a photo of the iconic statue spouting water into the Singapore River at Merlion Park.

4. SINGAPORE FLYER

This enormous Ferris wheel in the south part of Singapore’s city centre is difficult to miss! At a whopping 150 metres in diameter, it’s one magnificent structure. Climb on board and experience some amazing views of the city and the Singapore Straits, as well as some of the neighbouring islands.
