There are so many people that fly through Singapore on a daily basis and have long layovers before heading to their final destination.
If you had three to five hours to see Singapore, I would recommend that you tour Singapore on the "Hop-On/Hop-Off" Red Bus. One of the places that you can visit is the Gardens by the Bay.
It is a nature park consisting of 250 acres. There are three waterfront gardens: Bay South Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay Central Garden.
The day that my husband and I were at the Gardens, we visited the Flower Dome area and the Cloud Forest area. We were able to get there right when it opened. It was nice because we got there before the crowds.
As we walked into the Cloud Forest, you could feel the coolness of the area and smell the fresh water from the 115 feet waterfall. This is the world's largest indoor waterfall. Walking around in this huge greenhouse, the lush vegetation was surrounded by beautiful, colorful plants, orchids, ferns and trees. As I walked across the bridges in the dome, I felt that I was walking through the Amazon rainforest.
After enjoying the Cloud Forest, we headed to the Flower Dome. This dome is also a gigantic air-conditioned glass greenhouse with many exotic plants . Since it was Christmas, the dome was decorated with poinsettias, Santa's Workshop and many Christmas trees. Also in the area was a thousand-year-old olive trees and unusual Baobabs of the cool-dry Mediterranean and subtropical regions.
Another area to visit is the OCBC Skyway and Supertree Grove. You can enjoy dramatic vertical plant displays. There was also a 73 feet OCBC Skyway. Since I don't care for heights, I didn't walk across.
So if you have limited time in Singapore, I would definitely recommend visiting the Gardens by the Bay. It would be a great way to relax and to enjoy your surroundings!
