[Gardens By The Bay] - Magical Garden Rhapsody and Christmas Wonderland

We landed at Supertree Dining and had our dinner at Hill Street Coffee Shop before we embarked on a night journey through rainforests of the magical world with Garden Rhapsody's "Rainforest Orchestra" at the giant SuperTree Groove.

 SuperTree Grove from Cloud Forest Dome

These uniquely designed vertical gardens of 25 to 50-metres (about 16 storeys tall) have large canopies that provide shade in the day...

 They come alive when the sky turns dark...

 Marina Bay Sands and SuperTree.

They can be found all around the Gardens - twelve at the Supertree Grove, and the remaining six are placed in clusters of threes at the Golden and Silver Gardens.

  Providing scale and dimension to the Gardens while marrying 
the form  and function of mature trees...

Supertrees are made of four parts: reinforcement concrete core, trunk, planting panels of the living skin, and canopy.

These Supertrees also create height to balance the tall 
developments in the Marina Bay area.

All the pieces are delicately handcrafted and flown in from Italy.

  Based on original drawings from Baroque architecture 
in the 16th and 17th century.

These sculptures of light are full of form, dramatic intensity and emotions.
 The Luminarie makes spaces grand, intimate and magical!

White Christmas came true in Singapore. 호호호~!!!
 
 after the snow ended in 10 minutes...
the hanging snow on the wires look like constellations.

Guardian Lions and Arches welcome visitors at both ends of the Supertree Grove

Chinese guardian lions are always presented in pairs, with the male on the right, with its right paw playing with a ball that represents “power” and the female on the left, with a cub under her left paw, which symbolizes the cycle of life. 

According to the Taoist philosophy, the paired lions are also a representation of yin (female) and yang (male), which are the two contrasting and fundamental elements of the “Way”. While the male lion guards the entrance, the female lion protects the interior of the dwelling.
