Gardens by the bay is one of my favorite places in Singapore! These huge tries light up each night and perform a light show to music that really takes your breath away. (It's also free which really adds to the enjoyment of the performance.) We went and laid on the ground in the middle of the trees and watched as the trees lit up. The display and music were so relaxing that I almost fell asleep by the end!

Over 162,900 plants comprising more than 200 species and varieties of bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers have been planted on the 18 Supertrees!

Each Supertree consists of a trunk core made of reinforced concrete wrapped with a steel frame. Planting panels are installed on the trunks for the planting of the living skin. Each one is about the height of a 16-story building!
